DWTH brings together Danish water technology for the mutual benefit of clients and local partners, serving as a technology partner and a centre of information, marketing and sales of Danish water technology & know-how for Southeast Asia.

Water has always been a hot topic. In Singapore, this is even more so as it seeks to find new ways to harness water for the future generation. The Singapore government has put together a strategic partnership and infrastructure which allows for water technology companies to tap into the skilled work force, education and research as well as research funding. Denmark has been identified as an important benchmark and case study for Public Utilities Board, the water agency in Singapore.

Danish companies which expertise in water technology can certainly consider riding on the MOU that both countries have established, to tap into Singapore’s strategic growth as a hydrohub for the Asia region.
