Thought Leader

Against the background of critical challenges and questions about the future of climate change, water crises, digitalisation, coupling sectors, urbanisation and the Smart City, KWB is developing innovative knowledge through committed, practical research. Our work is grounded in science, highly innovative, at times even uncomfortable, but the relevancy and urgency of it should never be underestimated.

Honest Broker

Over the last 20 years, KWB has worked closely and productively with numerous national and international partners from the fields of science, economics and the government. We have commitments in networks both within the water sector and far beyond it, too. We connect loose ends and we network amongst key players, stakeholders and relevant organisations. With our expertise and ideas, we facilitate vibrant exchanges as well as innovative changes.

Driver of Change

KWB conveys valuable knowledge. This is a process in which we communicate far beyond any exclusive circle of experts. Our work is of great value to society. That’s why we don’t just share our knowledge with our various stakeholders, but also with the broadly interested public. The knowledge which we convey becomes the basis for informed decisions and thus helps bring about positive changes. It also flows into the development of practical services and innovative products.
