NOAQ exhibits at Salon des mairs, Paris with Dassault Systèmes and ESTHI
At the Salon des Maires in Paris, France’s premier gathering of mayors and local-government leaders, climate adaptation dominated the agenda as officials underscored the immediate need for solutions that can protect communities from accelerating flood risks.
Municipalities across the country are facing more frequent urban flash floods and rising economic losses linked to extreme weather events.
As budgets tighten and expectations from citizens increase, local authorities are prioritizing efficient, scalable, and rapidly deployable mobile flood barriers.
Among the technologies presented, the NOAQ BOXWALL drew significant attention for its practicality and proven performance. Designed for fast deployment and minimal manpower, the Boxwall enables cities to protect critical infrastructure and residential areas within minutes, an increasingly essential capability as response windows shrink.
Demonstrations at the event, supported by Dassault Systèmes and ESTHI, showcased how the NOAQ Boxwall can be integrated into digital-twin simulations, allowing city planners to visualize flood scenarios, test response strategies, and strengthen preparedness with data-driven precision.
