Cooperation across the industry

The foundation of AquaGlobe consists of projects and cooperations across the water industry with a focus on sales, export, education and recruiting as well as fun and learning.

The water technology companies GrundfosKamstrup and AVK have chosen to enter the project as co-initiators and can for example use AquaGlobe for development, testing, demonstration of solutions and inspirational visits from abroad.

The physical setting of AquaGlobe will include a water-based learning environment and a vibrant visitor- and inspiration center for new, Danish water technology, while there will also be more room for the employees of the supply company.
