Southern Africa is becoming increasingly water scarce. Technological solutions to improve water management and promote a circular water economy are critical in ensuring sustainable development of the subcontinent.
The Water Management Competence Centre (CC:WM) aims to promote bilateral exchange of technology and know-how between Germany and southern Africa in water management, encompassing the entire water value chain from source to wastewater treatment.
The Water Management Competence Centre (CC:WM) is based in Cape Town.
The objectives of the CC:WM are to:
- Conduct market analyses and provide market information
- Support companies in market entry and market expansion
- Implement initiatives geared towards sustainable water sector market development
- Represent the water sector, and provide a network and cooperation platform
To achieve the objectives listed above, we continuously expand our international network in the public and private water sectors, thereby connecting the water sector with target industries. Making use of these networks, the CC:WM offers various services to the private sector, including but not limited to, market studies, delegations, business partner searches and information events.
The CC:MA also implements projects funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy as part of the Market Development Programme. These projects include one-day information events, fact-finding missions, German technology promotion shows, business initiation trips, as well as purchasing and information trips.
