About the Business Platform
The cewas Business Platform is the headquarters of SMEs, which have emerged from the cewas Start-Up Centre. It provides home base support and a networking and exchange platform for cewas SMEs amongst themselves as well as with research and development (R&D) partners. Thus, the Business Platform is the interface of the cewas service providers in the field of water resource management and sustainable sanitation and the market and the point of contact for cewas clients.
