Recovery Plan opportunities
How could the Recovery Plan be an opportunity for companies within the public tenders sector? Protection of land and water resources
The Recovery Plan reserves 15.03 billion investments for the “Protection of land and water resources”.
This component contributes significantly to the green transition by promoting a more efficient and sustainable use of water resources and by preventing actions contributing to the risks associated with climate change. Great attention is also paid to the digitalisation of processes, with particular reference to the digital management of water resources and the efficiency of the networks, to be transformed into a “smart network”.
