Successful euWater4i-SD trade mission to Peru and Colombia
The euWater4i-SD trade mission to Peru and Colombia took place from June 3 to 7, 2024.
9 European companies were part of the mission: ABO valve s.r.o. (Cz), BIOTRAKI LTD (Bg), Bonik system ltd (Bg), Boreal Light GmbH (De), Planetai Space Group (Sp), PV POWER (Bg), ricion AG (De), Strojírny Brno (Cz), SWIS GmbH (De).
Companies could decide to participate only in the mission to Peru or also in the mission to Colombia, which followed after. When they participated in both missions, they benefited from a financial support of €3,000/SME to cover their travel and accommodation costs.
A total of six high-level meetings took place in Peru with:
- The World Bank,
- GIZ Perú,
- Autoridad Nacional del Agua,
- PNSR - Programa Nacional de Saneamiento Rural,
- Programa Subsectorial de Irrigaciones - MIDAGRI,
- Centro de Competencias del Agua
In Colombia, the participants had the opportunity to visit the ACODAL Congress & Exhibition in Cartagena. The perfect platform for the EU companies to engage with Colombian industry leaders from the water sector. ACODAL is the Colombian Association of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering and its annual congress brings together leaders, industry specialists, academics, professionals, experts, organizations, governement representatives, and other key actors from thewater sector. Alongside the many conferences, participants could visit company stands in the exhibition and take part in B2B meetings in a dedicated room.
These interactions have provided the companies with essential information and valuable contacts to facilitate their international endeavors in Peru and Colombia. euWater4i-SD warmly thanks all the participants and the persons who welcomed us.
