INVESTING IN CLEAN WATER
THROUGH WATER PROJECT FINANCING
for Central & Decentral Water Infrastructure
Climate change, urban growth and aging or non existing water infrastructure make safe water the defining infrastructure challenge of our time - yet private capital remains largely absent. Grasshopper designs technology-only water projects that are scalable, verifiable and de-risked for investors. We mobilize private capital into centralized utilities, decentralized safe-water programs, and private-sector facilities - delivering reliable service, measurable impacts, and attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Worum es geht - Sauberes Wasser und die Finanzierungslücke im Wassersektor
Sauberes Trinkwasser und leistungsfähige Wasserinfrastruktur sind zentrale Zukunftsaufgaben. Trotzdem stammen heute immer noch weniger als 2 % der weltweiten Investitionen in Wasser aus privatem Kapital. Grasshopper entwickelt und strukturiert Wasserprojekt-Finanzierungen, die genau hier ansetzen: Wir mobilisieren privates Kapital für Projekte der zentralen und dezentralen Wasserinfrastruktur, mit Fokus auf Trinkwasser – dies auf Basis moderner und innovativer wassertechnischer Lösungen - die ihren "Proof of Technology" für große Wasserinfrastrukturprojekte und die öffentlichen Trinkwasserversorgung nachweislich erbracht haben.
Wer wir sind - Spezialisten für Wasserprojekte und Wasserprojektfinanzierungen
Seit 17 Jahren arbeiten wir ausschließlich im Wassersektor. Wir kommen aus den Projekten: mit eigener Umsetzungserfahrung, technischem und betrieblichem Know-how, einem international gewachsenen Netzwerk und langjährigen Partnerschaften mit Technologieanbietern, Versorgern und Institutionen. Diese seltene und spezialisierte Kombination macht Grasshopper zu einem Anbieter von Wasserinvestments, der Wasserprojekte fachlich versteht – und investierbar macht.

-
No privatization business, no equity stakes in water utilities, no aquisitions of rights to water sources
-
No hydropower (our focus is water, not energy generation)
-
No technology pilots (means: no unproven technologies for large-scale water infrastructure projects)
GRASSHOPPER DOES EXCLUSIVELY PROJECT FINANCING. FOR: CLEAN WATER
Clean Water
is a Human Right
The supply of clean water is one of the key challenges of the 21st century. Global shortages of clean water and rising per capita consumption are political and economical challenges the water sector is facing.
According to the "World Water Development Report" of the WHO, more than a billion people have currently have to rely on contaminated water and almost half the world's population lives without sanitation. In fact, more than one billion people obtain their drinking water from polluted wells, springs, ponds, or rivers. According to the Children's Fund of the United Nations and the World Health each year about 1.8 million people die from diarrheal diseases, most of them children under five.
