About the event:
The renowned European hydropower industry and its know-how can foster the transition into a more
sustainable energy system in parts of the world that still need support to develop the sector. While the
European hydropower market does not allow huge developments, some countries present a big
potential. The HYPOSO Project aims at supporting the European hydropower industry while at the
same time fostering a sustainable development in five selected target countries in Africa (Cameroon,
Uganda) and Latin America (Bolivia, Colombia, and Ecuador). The HYPOSO project has addressed these
issues by an approach of tools, courses and events, carried out in Europe, Latin America and Africa.
After more than three years, the HYPOSO project will end in May 2023 and the project partners are
pleased to invite you to the final event “Hydropower solutions for developing and emerging countries
– Bringing Africa, Latin America and Europe together” to present the results of the project and discuss
the needs for the future of small hydropower in Europe, in the HYPOSO target countries, and in the world.
This event is an excellent opportunity not only to learn about the HYPOSO project results, but also to
use the chance of having an international delegation at the venue, colleagues from the national
hydropower sectors from the HYPOSO target countries in Africa and in Latin America, who arrive in
Delft after a Study Tour through some European countries.
In the morning, B2B talks will be thus facilitated on demand, and interested European stakeholders
can inform us if they want to have a “micro” stand (at a table or high table) where they can present
themselves in a little exhibition to the international colleagues.
In parallel, the HYPOSO Advisory Board will meet in the premises of IHE Delft.
This first coming together will be continued in the afternoon with the Final Conference (see agenda
below) and concludes with a Gala Dinner in the evening.
We invite you for this international hydropower gathering and we look forward to interesting and good talks with you.
About HYPOSO – Hydropower solutions for developing and emerging countries
The EU-funded HYPOSO Project aims at supporting the European hydropower
industry while at the same time fostering a sustainable development in five
selected target countries in Africa (Cameroon, Uganda) and Latin America
(Bolivia, Colombia, and Ecuador). This will be achieved by a combination of tools and activities, namely
framework analyses, mapping of more than 2,000 potential hydropower sites, capacity building, and
the elaboration of 15 dedicated business case studies of SHP projects.
This project receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation
programme under grant agreement No 857851. More info at www.hyposo.eu .
