DEME │ CREATING LAND FOR THE FUTURE

WHO are we? | Solution provider for global challenges

DEME is not a ‘multinational’

… but …

DEME is a cluster of many ‘SMBE’s’ (small, medium & big enterprises) and high-tech projects managed by ‘intrapreneurs’ and motivated teams4

It’s all about a multicultural environment, ambition,passion, challenges, trail-blazing,…

What about the ever growing

population in coastal areas?

What about

the rising sea level?

What about the scarcity of mineral

resources?

What about

soil & water pollution?

What about the growing

CO2 emissions?

Are there opportunities for marine scientists in

the dredging world?

DEME │ CREATING LAND FOR THE FUTURE

YES! Dredging is not a purely civil engineering playfield anymore!

Therefore, Dredging, Environmental & Marine Engineering welcomes future change agents

Come and join us to shift from “Thinking out of the box” to “Acting out of the box”
