The Spring

Its location is in Viby J, Denmark, where 75.000 square meters is reserved for the creation of Water Valley Denmark. Because of its size and the intention to house all the big businesses within the water sector, it is not expected to be fully built until 10-15 years from now.

Businesses involved in the creation of Water Valley Denmark include Aarhus Vand, Grundfos, Kamstrup, Danfoss, AVK, Systematic and Aarsleff as well as the other water utilities in the 3VAND cooperation, Hofor, Biofos and Vandcenter Syd.

Our role

Aarhus Vand took the first step to create Water Valley Denmark and with the support from Aarhus Municipality’s council members, an idea was made into a reality. The intention is to create an epicentre, where all the big businesses in the water sector are gathered. The idea by placing the entire water sector in one area is to support the Danish water-growth and -export through innovation and technology development.

Aarhus Vand was the first business to start building at the new location. In March 2021, Aarhus Vand started building their new domicile in The Spring. The new domicile was done in January 2023, and so, Aarhus Vand relocated all their employees to have their daily operations at Water Valley Denmark.

Purpose

Water Valley Denmark will bring all the great minds of the water industry together. Its purpose is to be an alliance in the water industry between Danish and international players in the fields of science and research institutes as well as start-ups and global supply companies. By gathering all the great minds in one place it strengthens the thoughts of innovation by more open thinking across professions and segments. The aim is to try and solve the world’s fundamental water challenges by developing ground-breaking water technology.

Not only will Water Valley Denmark help to improve the quality of life worldwide, but the hope is also to establish more jobs and increase the Danish export of water solutions to 40 billion DKK in 2030.
