Royal HaskoningDHV and H2i will continue to work together as trusted partners. H2i’s consultancy team and projects will transition to Royal HaskoningDHV, ensuring there is no disruption to clients. H2i will continue to deliver its full suite of water-related digital software solutions to clients, in areas including climate change and urban flood resilience, leveraging Pluvia’s digital solutions to add greater value to its client offerings.
Royal HaskoningDHV CEO Marije Hulshof said, “Since we took a share in H2i in 2019, we have delivered many data-driven flood resilience projects to our clients in Asia, and will continue to do so. By jointly deciding to move apart, we are giving H2i the room it needs to quickly develop water-related digital solutions that the region and market requires.”
Martin Lechner, Chairman of Pluvia’s Board of Directors, said: “The streamlining of roles will allow H2i to sharpen its focus on developing and scaling the digital solutions it provides to both the private and public sectors, and to continue to leverage advancements in data science, AI and Machine Learning to improve them.”
As a result, H2i will be a stand-alone company, continuing its focus on digital products that use radar, street-level closed-circuit TV footage, and other technologies. Royal HaskoningDHV will maintain its minority stake in Pluvia, which is also based in Singapore.
