Why Thailand matters to WaveSave
Thailand faces a wide range of water management needs. Urban areas, industries, infrastructure and agriculture all depend on reliable access to water. At the same time, heavy rainfall, flooding and seasonal water shortages can create serious operational and economic risks.
These conditions create opportunities for cooperation between Thai organisations and the Dutch water sector. However, successful projects require more than exporting technology. They also require local knowledge, trusted partners and solutions that fit the Thai context.
WaveSave wants to build that cooperation for the long term. Therefore, our participation in Aquatech Asia 2026 forms part of a broader strategy for Thailand rather than a one-off exhibition visit.
Part of the Netherlands delegation
WaveSave will participate as part of the Netherlands delegation. This joint presence brings together Dutch organisations with different forms of water expertise.
The Netherlands has extensive experience in managing water in densely populated and low-lying areas. Dutch companies and knowledge organisations have developed practical approaches to flood protection, water technology, delta management and climate adaptation.
At Aquatech Asia 2026, the delegation will connect this experience with the priorities of Thailand and Southeast Asia. At the same time, Dutch participants can learn from Thai organisations, local experts and regional project experience.
Cooperation through the PIB programme
Our participation also connects closely with WaveSave’s involvement in the Partners for International Business programme, commonly known as PIB.
The Netherlands Enterprise Agency, RVO, uses this programme to support groups of Dutch businesses that want to enter or expand within an international market. By working together with other companies and the Dutch government, participants can build a stronger and more coordinated market position.
Within the Thailand cluster, WaveSave aims to:
- Develop relationships with Thai stakeholders
- Learn more about local water management priorities
- Identify suitable applications and project locations
- Find local implementation and distribution partners
- Explore demonstrations and pilot projects
- Build long-term commercial and technical cooperation
Aquatech Asia 2026 provides an important meeting point for this work. It gives the Dutch cluster an opportunity to meet public and private organisations from Thailand and the wider region.

Explore cooperation in Thailand and Southeast Asia
WaveSave is looking for practical opportunities that can lead to lasting results. These may include a local demonstration, a feasibility assessment, a pilot deployment or cooperation on a larger water management programme.
During a meeting, we can discuss:
- The water-related challenge at your location
- Existing flood or drought risks
- Technical and operational requirements
- Possible WaveSave solutions
- Local roles and responsibilities
- Training and implementation
- Potential project financing
- A suitable route towards a pilot project
Early discussions help establish whether a solution fits the local situation. They can also identify the technical information required for a more detailed proposal.
