German Water Partnership

German Water Partnership (GWP) is the leading network in the German water sector with a strong international focus. It unites around 300 companies, professional associations, and institutions from business, science, and research. GWP provides a platform for the exchange of knowledge and technologies to solve global water problems and strengthen the international competitiveness of the German water industry.

GWP offers a wide range of services, from market development to participation in international trade fairs to special event formats. Members benefit from direct access to potential customers and exclusive information about projects and tenders. The network promotes collaboration between business and science and supports its members in identifying funding opportunities.

The main mission of GWP is to strengthen the international competitive position of the German water industry and promote innovative solutions for water problems, especially in developing and emerging countries. GWP advocates for "clean business" and promotes corruption-free conduct as the foundation for a functioning economy. The values of the network are based on quality, reliability, and sustainability.

GWP is actively committed to the sustainable use of water and contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The network promotes energy-efficient solutions with long life cycles and supports projects funded by the federal government. By bundling information and interests, GWP helps improve the framework conditions for business development and drive innovations.

Since its founding in 2008, GWP has been working closely with international partners and five federal ministries to develop and strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation. This is implemented through joint events, trade fair appearances, and delegation trips. GWP provides foreign customers and decision-makers with direct access to the expertise and services of its members and facilitates contact through an online database or direct mediation by the GWP office.

German Water Partnership is an indispensable player in the global water sector, contributing to solving the world's most pressing water problems through its comprehensive expertise and strong network.
