Water Alliance
Country Technology Partner WEX Global 2026
Well known for its (water) inventiveness the Dutch will join WEX global 2024 as Country Technology Partner. In the Netherlands, water technology plays an important role in transforming a linear economy into a circular one. Innovation is key to this transformation. That the Netherlands takes water (technology) very seriously is evidenced by the recent investment of €135 million, by the Dutch government for the Water Technology Growth Plan.
Climate change puts enormous pressure on water resources. The growing population and demands for water require resilient, robust water supplies. Clean water for people, industry and food production are a global challenge. The scope of this problem is wide and varied and so are the solutions. The Dutch delegation at our summit reflects this diversity. If you have a water issue meet the Dutch at WEX Global.
The NL delegation include: Avic, CirTec, NX Filtration, Royal HaskoningDHV, Van Remmen UV Technology, Hulo, Samotics, Spatial insight, Aquasuite and Realworld software products. Please read below to find out more about each of these companies
The Dutch trade mission is part of the WTEX10 programme, which is powered by the ministry of economics and climate, ministry of infrastructure and water management, TKI Water Technology and Water Alliance.
