On behalf of the Council for Transport and Public Works (RVW), DHV / Dialogic has created a quantitative overview of the financial flows between relevant (public) parties in the Dutch water sector. Where possible, a breakdown has also been made of the financial flows for R&D and innovation.
In preparation for advice requested by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management on the role of the ministry in improving the innovation capacity of the VIW sectors, the RVW has decided to examine a case on innovation processes in the water sector (the other case concerns the issue of alternative pricing for mobility - road pricing). The main focus is on how innovation processes unfold and the role of Transport and Public Works in this regard.
In addition to mapping financial flows, the Council also seeks to gain more insight into which actors control the financial flows in the water sector (who is turning which knobs). The core of the assignment to DHV / Dialogic was to provide a high-level understanding of the money flows within and between the main actors ('80/20 rule'). This is not primarily about a detailed analysis, but rather about understanding (the evolution of) the main financial flows related to innovation, R&D, and knowledge development.
