Expected Results of the survey
• Who are the organizations dealing with flowing rainwater

expertise or an internationally competitive product?
• What are the main problematic areas for the organizations and
what type of cooperation would they need?
• What kind of cooperation would they be willing to provide to other
actors?
• Can we identify technologies/services that could be globally
marketable and are the organizations interested in exporting their
products globally?
