Water security is an economic opportunity 💡
On the sidelines of a busy week in New York, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce hosted a discussion on water security with HE Balalaa, Chuck Chaitovitz, the Chamber’s Vice President for Environmental Affairs and Sustainability, and US and UAE private sector and public sector stakeholders.
The meeting focused on strengthening U.S.–UAE collaboration to drive large-scale private sector investment and innovation in water security solutions.
Participants also explored the challenges of attracting long-term institutional capital, including pension and sovereign wealth funds, to the water sector. A key focus was moving beyond concessional financing to develop commercially viable projects that deliver the reliable returns these investors need.
