AquaInSilico (AIS), a spin-off company from NOVA University Lisbon, incorporated by a team of specialists from NOVA School of Science and Technology | FCT NOVA, was the winner of the 9th edition of the “Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2022” award promoted by Crédito Agrícola, in the category of “Circular Economy and Sustainable Biotechnology”, with the project “Phos2Recycle – Phosporus Biofertilizers”.
This innovative project uses artificial intelligence algorithms to virtually simulate the physical, biological and chemical processes of the WWTPs, contributing to the Water Factories being a response to current scarcity of water and fertilizers, which has caused high losses in agriculture, and an urgency to restore the health of the oceans.
Through “Phos2Recycle – Phosphorus Biofertilizers”, wastewater treatment becomes much more efficient, with many positive effects at an environmental, economic and social level.
