Joint initiative between Austrade and Royal Dutch embassy
Water knowledge will flow between Australia and the Netherlands next month, when a delegation of Dutch water experts visits Australia (7–12 March).
Austrade Holland’s business development manager, Sjoerd Rameckers, said the joint initiative between Austrade and Royal Dutch embassy would seek to increase exchange of knowledge, contacts and networks, two-way trade and investment into Australia.
“Holland is sending some it’s best and brightest to Australia, including market leaders in the water space, such as Norit and Deltares‚” said Rameckers. “Australia and the Netherlands have a lot to learn from one another. The Dutch are internationally recognised for their leadership in water technology, management and delta technology (the integrated management of interconnected land and water systems).
“Similarly, Australia is highly regarded for leadership in areas such as dealing with droughts, water quality research, policy and public communications around water usage, all of which have potential applications in Holland.
“Australia’s water expertise is vast and the international growth opportunities are significant. Global companies such as Australia’s WorleyParsons, Leighton Holdings and GHD are internationally focused, demonstrating Australian capability to deliver projects across the expanding water, wastewater and water resources market worldwide.
“Others, such as Phoslock, Rubicon, Multitrode and Australian Innovative Systems already supply Europe with a wide array of high-quality products and services.
“It’s great to see the fantastic level of interest in this mission and we know that the participants will be actively engaging with Ozwater, the Australian Water Association, Water Industry Alliance, state ministers, universities and Australian companies.”
