Water Alliance is a unique partnership of public and private companies, government agencies and knowledge institutes involved in the Dutch water technology. We focus on innovative and sustainable water technology that can be used worldwide and support small and medium sized enterprises in the water technology industry in terms of (international) matchmaking, networking and business development.
Water Alliance is based at WaterCampus Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. WaterCampus Leeuwarden is the physical core of the Dutch water technology sector and has the ambition to play a sector uniting role for the rest of Europe as well. The WaterCampus is an innovation eco-system, which brings together a complete chain of innovation for water technology, from first ideas to research & development, specialised laboratories, a water application centre and various demo sites to launching customers and ultimately tangible business. We help companies to find the best way through the innovation chain to cover their needs and speed up their developments. WaterCampus stimulates cooperation between (inter)national businesses, knowledge institutes and governments within the water technology sector, in order to create synergy for world class innovation, education and entrepreneurship. This strengthens the global position of the European water technology sector. Additionally, WaterCampus offers a unique research infrastructure, and is a meeting point for scientists and companies from all over Europe. The international cooperation organised and stimulated by WaterCampus Leeuwarden leads to knowledge, talent and entrepreneurship that contribute to solutions for global water problems.
