Exciting Collaboration for Sustainable Urban Development!
Thrilled to announce that SusBDe is actively participating in the collaboration between Greater Mumbai and The Netherlands to advance sustainable urban development!
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee IAS, Commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, and Erwin Nijsse, Director-General Business Development & Innovation on behalf of the Minister for the Environment of The Netherlands, Mrs. Vivianne Heijnen, signed a Joint Declaration witnessed by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and ACS Bhushan Gagrani.
This strategic partnership will focus initially on sustainable waste management, emphasizing the creation of value through waste segregation, recycling, upcycling, and waste-to-energy solutions. The collaboration also extends to exploring opportunities in port-led urban development.
A delegation from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, led by Dr. Shrikant Shinde and Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, is currently in the Netherlands, engaging with Dutch authorities and SusBDe to delve into the details and pave the way for further collaboration towards a better and more sustainable future.
SusBDe is proud to be part of this transformative initiative and looks forward to contributing innovative solutions for a greener and cleaner urban landscape!
SusBDe joined the Dutch Trade Mission at IFAT India 2025 in Mumbai, presenting its Waste-to-Energy concept and engaging with partners and government leaders on advancing circular solutions in India’s growing sustainability sector.
This week, Jaap Veenenbos and Harshavardhini Varagunan represent SusBDe, it partners at the Dutch biogas sector at IFAT India 2025 in Mumbai. From the Netherlands Pavilion, they are meeting with partners, project developers, and investors to showcase how Dutch technology is driving India’s circular energy transition.
Prof. Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize–winning economist, engaged in in-depth discussions with Bastiaan Dijkman of SusBDe. His perspectives on inequality and climate change resonate strongly with the challenges SusBDe faces: developing profitable, scalable projects that still struggle to secure government and institutional financing. These exchanges underscored both the urgency of action and the need for persistence in building a fairer, more sustainable future.
