Venice Acqua Valley

Venice Aqua Valley promises to be the next major chapter in Venetian regeneration. Starting in 2027 , a new space will emerge at the Venice Arsenale: an international hub dedicated to water—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 think, experiment, and implement concrete solutions around the intelligence of water: natural, human, collective, ancestral, intuitive, and artificial.

Conceived as a vibrant, educational, and economic space, 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 the transition to a bio-inspired economy. By forging links between science, the arts, innovation, governance, and youth, it aims to breathe new life into the Arsenale, while positioning Venice as the world capital of aquatic resilience.
