Water Valley Denmark
Sharing knowledge and innovation
Water Valley Denmark is a Danish innovation ecosystem for the water sector. It brings together water utilities, technology companies, universities, research institutions and other partners to develop innovative solutions for the water sector and address global challenges related to water, climate and sustainability.
Our role
Aarhus Vand has supported the establishment of Water Valley Denmark.
Together, we have built a Water Living Lab that offers the opportunity to develop, test, and demonstrate water technology solutions. Water Valley Denmark spearheaded the application process and the formation of the partnership. Since then, we have undertaken major development projects and, through our collaboration, cemented the Living Lab’s role as a key asset in the innovation process.
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.
