On 2 and 3 March 2022 the GCSP was invited to take part in the ‘Innovate4Water’ event organized in Geneva by Waterpreneurs to facilitate networking and collaboration between public and private actors involved in water security and development. Indeed, water can be a source either of conflict or cooperation. On this occasion, our expert Marc Finaud presented the offer and needs of the GCSP to the potential partners, particularly regarding maritime security.
