Disciplined outcomes in water & environment

Focus the right buyers for your technology, prove what matters on site, and scale into reliable operation. Calmly, with evidence.

How we help - and what you get

Where others advise, Rivium delivers.

Calm, structured, evidence-led execution that carries work from first proof to reliable operation. Senior-led and focused, turning strategy into measurable outcomes that work in the field.

Business development & market entry (Europe/Nordics)

Find and win your first customers in the Nordics/Europe. We shortlist targets, sharpen the message, build partners/channels, and create qualified meetings and proposals.

Pilot → Reference → Scale

Structure pilots that provide engineering clarity and generate actionable data. Clear pass/fail rules and acceptance criteria, a simple sampling plan, clean data that ends in an operator-signed results pack and a practical rollout plan. We surface technical, commercial, and regulatory risks early so scale is de-risked.

Technical Readiness & Compliance Review

Make your solution easy to approve and run. We translate results into buyer-ready proof: standards and permits mapped, operating envelope defined, acceptance criteria set, and a tidy Results Pack with operator sign-off. You get a clear Handover Pack and a short plan to close any gaps.

Project Leadership & Execution

We run delivery across scopes: from right-sized pilots to full-scale references to complex, multi-party projects. Work stays calm and predictable: go/no-go checkpoints, weekly check-ins, 6-week lookouts, clear owners, clean handovers. From proof-of-concept to commercial deployment, we provide interim leadership and execution support.

Procurement readiness

Turn proof into paperwork that passes reviews: scope of work, acceptance tests, service/warranty notes, safety & compliance, all aligned to typical tender/onboarding checklists.

Sector-Specialized

Deep expertise in water, wastewater, and environmental technology ecosystems

Client-Centric

Trusted by utilities, technology providers, vendors and EPCs

Outcome-Focused

From pilot validation to market scale and measurable ROI

Trusted partner network (project-by-project)

We work with a conservative bench of niche experts, engaged only when needed for a specific assignment. This keeps teams lean and quality high.

Conflict-free policy

Vendor-neutral advisory or declared business-development partner, never both on the same opportunity.
