Connecting

Sharing knowledge, connecting perspectives, thinking ahead together

Challenges relating to water do not stop at national or organizational borders. Solutions therefore emerge where people share knowledge, bring together different experiences, and work jointly on new approaches.

The impact area Connecting stands for the connections we create with people, organizations, and institutions. This includes the training and qualification formats we offer, exchange on regulatory frameworks, collaboration across national borders, and selected partnerships at the intersection of water technology and artificial intelligence. In doing so, we connect practical experience with scientific insights and create spaces for exchange, learning, and joint development.

Through strong partnerships, we work towards:

Facilitating qualifications and further training for people

Knowledge continues to develop just as technologies, working methods, and the requirements placed on specialists do. Especially in fields such as water technology, digitalization, and artificial intelligence, it is important to make knowledge accessible and connect different competencies.

With the Wilo Global WATER AI Academy, we create a platform that brings together knowledge and continuing education at the intersection of water technology, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition, we offer learning formats on specialist and digital topics.


Shaping the regulatory frameworks

Technologies continue to evolve, and with them the framework conditions for people, companies, and societies also change. Constructive dialogue requires perspectives from business practice, politics, academia, and wider society.

We contribute our practical experience to political and regulatory dialogue and participate in exchange with different stakeholder groups. The aim is to make practical experience visible, discuss developments together, and bring together different perspectives.


Collaborating across borders

Water knows no borders. At the same time, the challenges surrounding its use, supply, and infrastructure differ from region to region. International collaboration makes it possible to bring together experience and expertise from different markets and to learn from one another.

We connect international expertise and support the transfer of knowledge and competencies. In this way, we create opportunities to share experience and jointly develop responses to different requirements relating to water technology.


Embracing strong AI partnerships

Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly and creating new opportunities for different areas of application. In our understanding and use of AI, we rely on exchange between different disciplines and perspectives.

We work with selected partners from business, academia, and society in order to combine practical experience with insights from research. This creates spaces for exchange and joint development at the intersection of water technology, AI, and digital applications.
