Founded by Walid Khoury, the company focuses on providing innovative water treatment solutions that combine global knowledge with local partnerships. With a commitment to sustainability and local empowerment, Desalytics is reshaping how water management is approached in the region.

Strategic expansion to WaterCampus Leeuwarden

Recently, Desalytics opened an office at WaterCampus in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, to leverage the region’s rich ecosystem of innovation and research in water technology. This strategic move allows Desalytics to collaborate with leading experts and organizations in the field, fostering research and development efforts that can enhance its water treatment solutions.

Empowering local entrepreneurs for sustainable growth

A key aspect of Desalytics’ strategy is its emphasis on empowering local entrepreneurs. By partnering with local businesses, the company disrupts traditional supply chains while promoting economic growth and sustainability. This approach enhances the effectiveness of water solutions and reflects a broader trend seen in the Dutch water sector, where collaboration and local expertise are essential for success.

Desalytics is dedicated to delivering high-quality water products and services tailored to the needs of municipal and industrial customers. The company focuses on optimizing processes to ensure reliable testing results and maximize returns at competitive costs. This commitment to innovation aligns with the advancements found in the Netherlands, a country known for its effective water management practices.

Showcasing expertise at Aquatech Mexico 2024

Recently, Desalytics showcased its expertise at Aquatech Mexico 2024, an important event for global water technology innovations. During this gathering, Desalytics participated in discussions on critical topics such as gender equality in the water sector and best practices for operating industrial reverse osmosis systems. These conversations highlight the company’s commitment to inclusivity and technical excellence—values that resonate within the Dutch water community.

The Netherlands has established itself as a leader in water technology, supported by a strong ecosystem that encourages research, development, and sustainable solutions. Institutions like WaterCampus Leeuwarden foster collaboration among businesses and research organizations, benefiting both Dutch companies and international players like Desalytics. By engaging with this network, Desalytics aims to enhance its impact through shared knowledge and cooperative efforts.

At Aquatech Mexico 2024, Walid Khoury also took on a unique role as a DJ during the exhibitors’ welcome session, playing music from leading Dutch artists. This cultural element added a lively atmosphere to the event and highlighted the connections between global water initiatives.

Leveraging Dutch water expertise for African impact

As Desalytics continues to expand its operations in sub-Saharan Africa, it exemplifies how international cooperation can address pressing water challenges. By fostering local partnerships and embracing innovative solutions, Desalytics contributes to sustainable development while drawing inspiration from successful practices in the Dutch water sector.

In a time when effective water management is crucial, Desalytics is committed to transforming challenges into opportunities for communities across Africa.
