collectively, to relevant third parties, including public authorities or other bodies

Act as an interface

between the Members and third parties to enable in areas of common interest to the Members (i) the development of coordination and cooperation between the Members; (ii) the participation in tenders for projects; and (iii) the development of the Members’ business


Acquire a stake in a legal entity

if this contributes to the achievement of our non-profit aims

A best practice is a methodology that has repeatedly produced superior results relative to other methodologies with the same objective: to be fully elevated to a best practice, a promising method will have been adopted and employed by multiple organizations
