The Nexada project continues to develop and its consortium has visited the headquarters of 10 Clusaga partner companies of the subsectors dairy, sea-industry and beverages. This consortium is coordinated by the Galician Food Cluster (Clusaga) and made up of the Catalan Water Partnership (CWP) and the Association of Knowledge Industries and Applied Technology of Euskadi (GAIA).
The objective has been the conducting on-site diagnoses of water cycle management of these entities to detect the points of improvement of the processes and the specific needs of each food company visited. Based on this diagnosis, it is intended to improve the efficient use of water and the treatment of its wastewater, through the implementation of R&D and innovation with a focus on improving sustainability.

Specifically, the member companies of Clusaga Galacteum, Casa Grande de Xanceda, Bodegas Martín Códax, Grupo Nueva Pescanova, JEALSA, Bodegas Gran Bazán, Paco&Lola, Quescrem, Queixería Barral and Queizuar received representatives of the cluster, CWP and GAIA at their facilities between January 31 and 2 February. In addition to these, other entities that have also expressed their interest in participating will receive virtual diagnoses by the project consortium in the coming months.
Carrying out diagnostics of the management that the partner companies make of the water cycle is aimed at fulfilling the main objective of the NexADA project: strengthen ties between the food sector and technology to provide digital and industry 4.0 solutions that respond to the needs of food companies for efficient management of the water cycle.
