Israeli water management companies are keen to partner with their counterparts in India to bring about changes in the way water is managed better by sharing the knowhow, Mr Oded Distel, Director, Israel NEWTech, Investment Promotion Centre of Ministry of Industry, Israel, said here today.
He said “Israeli companies have become experts in water management over the years. This is something we were forced to achieve as we did not have any other option but to find ways to meet water requirement in a water-short nation. By 2015 about 70 per cent our water required would be met through desalination.”
The CII-Green Business Centre and the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labour inked a joint declaration on cooperation in the areas of water management and technology. This is part of the Israel NEWTech programme.
Speaking at the CII-GBC, Mr Oded Distel said: “we have begun to understand the Indian market for water management. This is a big opportunity for Israeli companies which have gained expertise in different aspects of water management. We also know that it would not be possible to share our expertise without local partners.”
“Therefore, Israeli companies are keen to partner their Indian counterparts to share knowhow and also possibly explore opportunities for local manufacture to be competitive in India,” he said.
Mr S. Raghupathy, Executive Director, CII Godrej-GBC, outlined the opportunities for Israeli companies to partner Indian firms right from water management to waste management.
