the participation of 27 water professionals who
visited several locations around Denmark to get
a first-hand look at solutions presented at the
initial Danish Water Days.
Ukraine has major challenges with worn-out
and poorly maintained water infrastructure,
which does not live up to current standards in
Europe regarding drinking water or utilisation of
wastewater resources.
Denmark is recognised as a credible and
competent partner within the water sector and
is viewed by the Ukrainian water organisation
as a strong example to follow. Therefore, this
collaboration is not only about good relations,
but equally about supporting Ukrainian water
and wastewater companies in creating the best
possible conditions. AVK is very invested in this
work.
Water Technology Alliance and California
Collaboration
The Water Technology Alliance (WTA) fosters
knowledge sharing between the North American
and Danish water industries, promoting the
exchange of views and experiences within water
supply and wastewater management. This
collaboration involves American utilities and
authorities alongside Danish players, utilities,
and companies, including AVK, and originates
from an agreement between the Californian
state government and the Danish government,
signed in 2016.
Both AVK Holding A/S and American AVK
actively participate in this partnership. In
Denmark, AVK hosts delegations on fact-finding
trips, sharing insights into Danish water supply
and wastewater treatment practices. These
insights are adapted to the American context,
with American AVK taking a leading role. This
collaboration has significantly strengthened
AVK’s brand presence in the American market.
Building on this foundation, AVK joined a
high-level Danish delegation in California as
Denmark and the State of California signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
on August 22, 2025. The MoU establishes
a five-year framework for cooperation on
green economy, resilience, technology, and
innovation, reinforcing a shared commitment
to carbon neutrality by 2045. This highlights
joint leadership in decarbonisation, renewable
energy, and sustainable growth, providing a
strong political and institutional foundation for
future initiatives.
