The Winsemius Award, named after the renowned Dutch economist Dr. Albert Winsemius, celebrates outstanding achievements in innovation, sustainability, and collaboration between Singapore and the Netherlands. Winning this award underscores the importance of our work in addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change.

Haskoning has been at the forefront of climate resilience efforts in Singapore since 2010. Our extensive work in water management, coastal protection, and climate adaptation is making a tangible impact on the well-being of Singapore's communities and the resilience of its economy. We have successfully translated Dutch expertise into solutions tailored to Singapore's unique context, fostering long-term partnerships and knowledge transfer.

Our projects will lead to the protection of millions of people living and working along Singapore's coastline, substantial investments in coastal protection infrastructure, and the creation of new job opportunities. By integrating hybrid and nature-based solutions, such as mangroves and living breakwaters, we have provided sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives serving not only as coastal protection but also as coastal amenities.

The collaboration between Singapore and the Netherlands is characterised by a unique synergy built on shared challenges and complementary expertise. This partnership has driven innovation and enhanced the global competitiveness of both countries in the field of climate adaptation.

We are proud to play a role in this collaboration and to contribute to Singapore's climate resilience. Our commitment to excellence, focus on tangible results, and dedication to building a sustainable future make us a deserving recipient of the Winsemius Award.

As we celebrate this achievement, we remain committed in our mission to create positive impacts on society and the environment. We look forward to continuing our work in Singapore and beyond, driving innovation and sustainability for a better world, today and for generations to come.
