The global challenges of our times can only be tackled by working together. We maintain a strong network of partners around the world and take responsibility for a more sustainable future.
“We focus on team play and build on strong international partnerships. Our commitment across national borders shows that we empower people and encourage them in their actions.”
The combination of theory and practice in the degree programme is of great importance. Thanks to the partnership with Wilo, a laboratory with pumps and pump solutions in a fully digitalised environment has been set up at Heriot-Watt University in Dubai. This enables mechanical engineering students to train at the highest level. “Theoretical knowledge is important, but it doesn’t give us any idea of how pump systems work in real life. The Wilo lab gives us the opportunity to gain practical experience in handling pumps and to compare theoretical knowledge with real experiments,” says Noel Reney, a mechanical engineering student at Heriot-Watt University.
Networking at the highest level: Since 2023, leading minds in the industry have been coming together in interactive workshops to assess the opportunities and challenges in artificial intelligence and sustainability and to share experiences. The representatives of the international companies Goldbeck, Vaillant, Claas, Phoenix Contact, Vorwerk and Wilo are united by a common goal: to shape a sustainable and intelligent future. At the “AI & Sustainability” workshop in the Wilo Networking Cube in 2024, everything centred on “Connecting”, one of the three areas of action of Wilo’s overarching Group-wide sustainability strategy. The aim: to exchange ideas, learn from each other, develop solutions and remain competitive in the two areas of artificial intelligence and sustainability. A regular dialogue that provides valuable insights and reflects the power of working together for a better future
In September 2024, the Wilo Group became the first sustainability partner of the NBA basketball team Milwaukee Bucks in the USA. This is a partnership based on similar values and convictions as well as mutual support in promoting a more sustainable use of the valuable resource of water. Both parties have committed to working together on joint sustainability projects and initiatives. Like Wilo, the Milwaukee Bucks team attaches great importance to sustainability: their home, the Fiserv Forum, is one of the most sustainable sports venues in the USA, thanks in part to products, systems and solutions from Wilo. By sponsoring the Milwaukee Bucks, Wilo is once again showing its commitment to the American market.
