Objectives of the working group
The members of GWP come from all areas of water management and have a high level of competence. The objectives of this working group are to bundle and coordinate common topics and interests of the members with a focus on industrial customers. The goals at a glance:
- Networking between the GWP network and politics and authorities at an international level
- Support of member companies in terms of market access: international industry associations, general contractors, global players/industrial groups
- Participation in events, trade fairs and delegation trips in order to focus about industrial water management
- Taking up F & E topics such as Zero Liquid Discharge and Industry 4.0 or innovation programmes
The working group interacts with the GWP regional sections as well as the other GWP working groups, which come into contact with the topic of industrial water management within the framework of the body.
