Water Valley Denmark
Sharing knowledge and innovation
Water Valley Denmark is a part of The Spring, a new area in Aarhus, which is intended to be the epicentre of the Danish Water Sector. It is expected to be the home of up to 100 businesses and knowledge institutions with more than 3000 job positions.
The Spring
Its location is in Viby J, Denmark, where 75.000 square meters is reserved for the creation of Water Valley Denmark. Because of its size and the intention to house all the big businesses within the water sector, it is not expected to be fully built until 10-15 years from now.
Businesses involved in the creation of Water Valley Denmark include Aarhus Vand, Grundfos, Kamstrup, Danfoss, AVK, Systematic and Aarsleff as well as the other water utilities in the 3VAND cooperation, Hofor, Biofos and Vandcenter Syd.

Our role
Aarhus Vand took the first step to create Water Valley Denmark and with the support from Aarhus Municipality’s council members, an idea was made into a reality. The intention is to create an epicentre, where all the big businesses in the water sector are gathered. The idea by placing the entire water sector in one area is to support the Danish water-growth and -export through innovation and technology development.
Aarhus Vand was the first business to start building at the new location. In March 2021, Aarhus Vand started building their new domicile in The Spring. The new domicile was done in January 2023, and so, Aarhus Vand relocated all their employees to have their daily operations at Water Valley Denmark.
