Rethinking Water Access: Dutch Clean Tech's Innovative Approach to Financing Clean Water Infrastructure
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE & DESALINATION
Sander Pielkenrood, CEO of Dutch Clean Tech, argues that the water crisis stems not from scarcity but from a lack of access to clean water. The company has transformed from a traditional technology supplier into a cleantech investment platform, focusing on financing water infrastructure rather than selling equipment.
Their model, which operates purification systems while local governments pay for clean water, generates stable returns for European investors. With projects underway in Mexico, Guatemala, and Oman, Dutch Clean Tech aims to scale its impact globally while making clean water financially sustainable.
