REWET Innovation Observatory - Accelerating Wetland Restoration in Europe

Wetlands are vital ecosystems supporting biodiversity, climate regulation, and water purification. However, many European wetlands face degradation, threatening these crucial benefits. The REWET Innovation Observatory is committed to reversing this trend by showcasing the latest innovations in wetland restoration.

On 17 July 2025, the REWET Third Innovation Observatory Event will gather experts, startups, policymakers, and restoration practitioners online to share groundbreaking solutions.

Why Wetland Restoration Matters

Wetlands act as natural carbon sinks and provide habitat for countless species. Sustainable restoration requires advanced monitoring tools, new governance and finance models, and collaboration across sectors.

What to Expect:

• Policy Innovation: Reflections from the European Peatlands Initiative and Youth Engaged in Wetlands
• Innovation Spotlights:
  • Mission to Marsh – Storytelling, awareness-raising & nature-based marketing
  • Ponda.bio – Regenerative biomaterials linking wetland restoration to sustainable fashion
• REWET Agora: An interactive session to connect, explore replication and funding opportunities, and strengthen innovation networks across the REWET Open Lab countries

We warmly encourage all interested people to attend and take part in the discussions, especially during the REWET Agora session.
