BLUEWIN Co., Ltd. participated in the Regional Training on International Development Cooperation in the Water Sector, hosted by the International Centre for Water Security and Sustainable Management under the auspices of UNESCO (i-WSSM).
The training was conducted as part of the 2026 Capacity-Building Program for Water Industry Employees, an initiative led by the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea.
The program was designed to help Korean water companies preparing to enter international development cooperation projects understand global water industry trends and the characteristics of regional markets, while developing practical strategies for overseas expansion.
BLUEWIN’s CEO and key team members from various departments participated in the program together. By involving employees responsible for overseas business, engineering, sales, and management support, the training provided an opportunity to establish a shared understanding of international development cooperation in the water sector and discuss the future direction of BLUEWIN’s global business activities.
The intensive two-day, one-night training program was held at the K-water Songsan Global Education and Research Center.
- Hosted by: International Centre for Water Security and Sustainable Management under the auspices of UNESCO (i-WSSM)
- Venue: K-water Songsan Global Education and Research Center
- Address: 883 Gongnyong-ro, Songsan-myeon, Manse-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea
- Duration: Two days and one night
- Participation fee: The entire program was provided free of charge
The program covered a wide range of practical topics required to develop international cooperation projects in the water sector, including rapidly changing global water industry trends in the era of climate crisis and carbon neutrality.
Participants explored the current conditions and local water-related needs of major regions, including ASEAN, Latin America, Central Asia, and Africa. The lectures also addressed how companies can identify and develop projects suited to the environmental, economic, and policy conditions of each region.
Actual cases of international development cooperation projects in the water sector were also presented. These cases helped participants gain a clearer understanding of how companies can connect their technologies with local challenges and develop them into practical and sustainable projects.
Climate change, population growth, urbanization, aging infrastructure, water scarcity, and water pollution appear in different forms depending on the country and region. Therefore, entering an overseas water market requires more than simply possessing excellent technology. Companies must also understand the local water environment, government policies, financial structures, specific needs, and project implementation systems of each target country.
This training was a meaningful opportunity for BLUEWIN to better understand the characteristics and structures of international development cooperation projects. It also encouraged us to consider how our technologies can contribute to addressing water and environmental challenges in different regions of the world.
BLUEWIN’s ELODE technology is an electro-osmotic sludge dewatering and volume reduction system designed to reduce the moisture content and volume of sludge generated during water and wastewater treatment. By removing additional moisture after primary mechanical dewatering, ELODE can help reduce the energy burden placed on downstream drying processes and lower overall sludge treatment costs.
Through this training, we learned that demonstrating technological performance alone is not enough. It is equally important to accurately identify the water and environmental challenges of each country, understand local demand, and propose solutions that align with the objectives and structure of international development cooperation projects.
The joint participation of BLUEWIN’s CEO and key employees also enabled team members from different departments to share their perspectives on international development cooperation. We recognized that future overseas projects will require close coordination among technical review, business feasibility analysis, local partner cooperation, and collaboration with public institutions and international organizations.
The high-quality lectures and well-structured curriculum provided water industry professionals with practical information and new perspectives that can be applied directly to their work. The program was also highly valuable for students studying water-related fields, as it offered them an opportunity to understand global water industry trends and the overall framework of international development cooperation.
One of the most meaningful aspects of the program was that all training sessions were provided free of charge. This allows small and medium-sized water companies, industry professionals, and students interested in international development cooperation to participate without a financial burden and strengthen their professional capabilities.
Small and medium-sized companies in the water sector often face practical difficulties in independently collecting information about overseas markets and international development cooperation projects. They may also have limited resources for developing market entry and project implementation strategies.
Programs such as this training can help companies reduce trial and error, examine overseas markets from a broader perspective, and develop their technologies into practical solutions that address local needs.
BLUEWIN hopes that more small and medium-sized water companies, water industry professionals, and students preparing for careers in the sector will take an active interest in the education and training programs offered by i-WSSM.
We sincerely thank the International Centre for Water Security and Sustainable Management under the auspices of UNESCO, the program organizers, and all lecturers for preparing such an informative and valuable training program.
Based on the knowledge and experience gained through this training, BLUEWIN will continue to examine the water environments and specific needs of different regions. We will also work to connect our sustainable sludge dewatering and volume reduction solutions, including ELODE, with international development cooperation projects.
BLUEWIN will continue collaborating with institutions and companies in Korea and overseas as we grow into a Korean water technology company that contributes to addressing global water challenges and achieving carbon neutrality.
