By covering the complete water cycle, GWP is the central point of contact for foreign partners and is being actively supported by five German federal ministries. Since 2008 this network has been acting as a central coordination office for foreign clients and decision makers seeking German expertise in the water sector. The main goal of GWP is to establish German expertise and quality worldwide and to position German water competencies in international markets.
Thus, integrated and sustainable approaches meet the problems and challenges of water management all over the world and the use of innovative technologies and German know-how is being improved worldwide. The members of GWP are dedicated to a set of guiding values and common objectives when providing services to their international clients and partners.

Objectives of these regional sections are to cultivate contacts with partners and decision makers in those countries, to kick off projects and work out custom-tailored solutions in water management.
