Venice Acqua Valley

Venice Aqua Valley is poised to become the next major chapter in Venice's regeneration. This new space will emerge as an international hub dedicated to water – the source of life, a common good in peril, and the guiding thread of our collective future. Venice Aqua Valley will bring together researchers, entrepreneurs, artists, citizens, educators, and institutions to conceive, experiment, and implement concrete solutions centered on the intelligence of water: natural, human, collective, ancestral, intuitive, and artificial.

Conceived as a living, educational, and economic ecosystem , Venice Aqua Valley embodies a strong desire to transform Venice's greatest vulnerability—water—into its greatest strength. This project is part of a vision of regenerative development and a transition to a bio-inspired economy. By forging links between science, the arts, innovation, governance, and youth, it aims to revitalize the Arsenale while positioning Venice as a world capital of aquatic resilience.
