In this study, we conducted a brief exploration of cross-sectoral innovation challenges in the field of water, soil, and climate adaptation. The research concludes that many water challenges and (required) water innovations are inherently cross-sectoral in nature. Our study suggests that an additional cross-sectoral innovation programme is not a priority because the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management is already directly or indirectly involved in many themes. The most urgent challenge is the implementation in practice. We recommend connecting with existing initiatives and programmes and switching from an 'inside-out' perspective to an 'outside-in' perspective: which key technologies offer new opportunities for the water sector?
