Vlakwa initiates, coordinates and facilitates. The activities of Vlakwa should benefit Flanders. Vlakwa addresses the ‘market failure’ in the Flemish ‘water domain’. At those areas in the market where water plays an important role, Vlakwa can help improve results, in particular when it comes to prices, production and utilisation of resources. Vlakwa also sets up demonstration projects, promotes the export of Flemish water knowledge and technology and stimulates the creation of new enterprises.
