This meeting will bring together Dutch and Bangladeshi partners to exchange insights, strengthen partnerships and identify new opportunities for collaboration within the water sector.

Event Details

  • Date: Wednesday, 28 October 2026
  • Time: 13:30 – 17:30 CET
  • Location: The Hague Conference Centre, Anna van Buerenplein 29, The Hague
  • Format: In-person event followed by informal networking and drinks

Discussions will focus on how to translate this work into sustainable next steps: institutionalising a lifecycle-based asset management approach within the Bangladesh Water Development Board; operationalising the Bangladesh–Netherlands PPP cooperation framework; and advancing promising, bankable water-infrastructure opportunities. The meeting will also help align priorities, partnerships and contributions for 2027, including capacity development, knowledge exchange and links with larger investment programmes under the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100.

The detailed agenda and programme are currently being developed and will be shared with participants well in advance of the meeting.
