Water
Water plays a crucial role in the economic and social development of countries around the world. The Netherlands possesses unique expertise in the areas of water management, drinking water, water treatment, and climate adaptation. Dutch companies develop innovative solutions to challenges such as water scarcity, flooding, and water pollution. Atradius DSB supports these companies in successfully implementing international water projects.
Climate change, population growth, and increasing urbanization are putting greater pressure on water systems worldwide. As a result, governments and companies are increasingly investing in sustainable infrastructure for water safety, water supply, and wastewater treatment. These projects are often large-scale and capital-intensive, making appropriate financing essential. Through export credit insurance, Atradius DSB supports Dutch companies in implementing water projects around the world.
Atradius DSB supports the water sector with:
- Export financing for water treatment projects
- Payment and political risks associated with water infrastructure
- Financing of public water projects
