Aegea wins Project of the Year at Roland Berger

Chicago, April 14, 2026

Roland Berger is proud to announce that the AEGEA project has been recognized as Project of the Year at our annual Partner Meeting. This impactful engagement with Aegea Saneamento showcases how strategic consulting, advanced analytics, and AI-driven risk management can generate significant societal and commercial value.

Operating in one of the most operationally complex regions worldwide, our teams supported the largest sanitation transformation ever undertaken in the Brazilian Amazon, providing access to clean water and better sanitation for over 5 million people. By mapping concession risks, optimizing system handovers, and utilizing AI tools throughout the project lifecycle, Roland Berger helped ensure operational continuity and maximize the project’s impact.

"Brazil continues to be a cornerstone of our Americas strategy, not only as a key market but also as a source of innovation, talent, and leadership that shapes our global capabilities," said Marcus Berret, Global Managing Director at Roland Berger.

"This project exemplifies the power of combining advanced analytics with deep sector expertise to deliver both commercial value and societal impact at scale," said Georges Almeida, Partner at Roland Berger.

The AEGEA engagement illustrates how Roland Berger’s best practices and data-driven approaches can tackle challenges in highly complex infrastructure projects while supporting broader environmental and social goals. From planning and risk assessment to execution, the project highlights AI's potential to transform public service delivery and infrastructure management at scale.
