Agbar is a large international company dedicated to the management of the water cycle value chain.
As part of its operations, it carries out engineering studies and actions, designs and builds water treatment facilities and manages distribution services for drinking water and sewerage.
The company bases its strategy on four pillars: digitalization, innovation, sustainability and social commitment. In this regard, Peninsula’s collaboration with Agbar was aimed at improving field operations in order to offer the best service through innovation and market research.
Improve intelligent technology for the management of water-related services
Develop an internal entrepreneurship program and implement the financial processes that support it.
This project has allowed us to investigate, in an international scope, a large number of companies whose activity is aligned with the Agbar strategy, as well as to carry out a joint selection process with the objective of improving field operations.
The GoSeeds program is not an incubation program, nor does Agbar act as an exclusively financial partner. The project consists of an ambitious worldwide search for startups that fulfill a high sense of technological innovation and whose products or services can generate an important contribution to the systems of Agbar.
The selected projects propose a pilot program of integration to the company’s services offer. It is a collaborative challenge , where it is taken into account that everything is integrated into a circular economy .
Since the partner company Agbar becomes one of its first customers.
The entity offers the startup a growth opportunity and access to a wide market.
Since it has the financial leverage that Agbar offers.
Peninsula has provided us with a huge flow of continuous offers that help us in our innovative strategy. Through a particularly effective methodology, they guarantee the quality of the pilot proposals driven by a very rigorous technical process.
