About

As water technology companies, we shape a resilient water system and focus on recovering energy and raw materials from water streams. Are you professionally active in water technology?

Then watercircle.be is the right place for you!

Who are we?

Watercircle.be (since 2003) is the network of companies active in water technology. Together, we are building a sustainable and water-resilient future. As a catalyst for collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing, we bring together key players who contribute to a circular water system where water, energy, and raw materials are maximally recovered.

Our members are technology companies, suppliers, and service providers who work together to address water challenges in industry, agriculture, and society. Whether it concerns water reuse, digital monitoring, or innovative purification techniques — watercircle.be connects and strengthens.

It is no coincidence that the water sector in Flanders is often referred to as the “blue gold” sector. And we are not just talking about the economic side; from a societal perspective as well, water is valued more than ever. Water brings real value to our Flemish economy. The scarcer it becomes, the more this realization hits home. With Watercircle, we showcase the (latest available) numbers behind this “blue gold.”

 

What do we do?

Watercircle.be stimulates innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange within the Flemish water technology sector. We bring together companies, knowledge centers, and policymakers to develop sustainable solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s water challenges.

Specifically:

  • Building a strong network of water technology companies and knowledge institutions.

  • Actively driving circular water use, raw material recovery, and energy efficiency.

  • Representing the sector to government authorities and other stakeholders, helping shape legislation.

  • Organizing events, workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions.

  • Supporting our members with innovation projects, grants/subsidies, and international collaborations.

Through targeted actions and projects, we contribute to a robust and resilient water system — for both industry and society.
