With a mission to expand the water supply chain and strengthen water security in the region, this pioneering ecosystem – spearheaded by the DMCC Water Centre – aims to enhance crucial water trade flows, ensuring that the world's most transported commodity can efficiently reach all areas of the globe, particularly water-distressed areas.
