Meet our Members: Rijkswaterstaat
Published on July 25, 2025The Connekt Foundation and the Digital Infrastructure Logistics program are seeking market advice to reach a tender for the first BDI Association Service.
Rijkswaterstaat is the executive agency of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. Rijkswaterstaat manages and develops the national highways, waterways, and waters, and is committed to a sustainable living environment.
Rijkswaterstaat works towards a safe, accessible, and livable Netherlands. As the executive agency of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW), Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) manages the main roads, main waterways, and the main water system. In doing so, RWS plays a key role in achieving societal goals such as sustainability, road safety, and digital transformation.
Within the Connekt network, Rijkswaterstaat is active across several strategic themes. These include asset management, mobility data, digital infrastructure, and the safe and controlled introduction of driver assistance systems and vehicle automation. The organization contributes not only technical and substantive expertise but also a broad systemic perspective, practical experience, and an open attitude toward collaboration.
Societal impact
RWS's role as a public partner is rooted in the interests of society. Whether it concerns improving accessibility, increasing road safety, or the smart use of data for better decision-making – Rijkswaterstaat always looks at the bigger picture.
This role aligns seamlessly with Connekt's objective: connecting parties to create more value together than is possible individually. With their long-term vision, practical knowledge, and connecting approach, Rijkswaterstaat is an indispensable player in the network.
Are you also interested in building the mobility and logistics of tomorrow? Then, like Rijkswaterstaat, become a member of Connekt and work together with other members from government, business, and knowledge institutions on today's major challenges.
