About us
AIAQUA is an innovative SME based at NOI Techpark and Trentino Sviluppo, developing advanced solutions for the smart, efficient and sustainable management of water and energy resources.
We turn technical-scientific expertise and research results into engineering services and software solutions for public bodies, utilities and industry operators.
At the heart of AIAQUA’s approach is hydroinformatics: we integrate physical models, monitoring data and advanced analysis techniques to understand system behaviour, support their management and identify optimisation strategies.
In practice, we work on modelling and optimising water networks, monitoring and digitising water utilities, forecasting river inflows, and developing research and innovation projects applied to the water and energy sectors.
Our solutions are built on solid scientific foundations, developed through research activity and more than 50 international scientific publications, with the aim of turning advanced methodologies into reliable, intuitive tools ready for operational use.
