Where the world’s water professionals gather Aquatech Amsterdam is the world’s leading trade exhibition in the field of process, drinking and waste water. It is also the only event in the world that is focused entirely on water technology. The exhibition serves as the meeting place of choice for all professionals involved in water technology. Aquatech Amsterdam is part of the International Water Week.

Special attention to industrial water use ‘Water recycling is the future’, they say.

It’s certainly true that the industrial water user is becoming increasingly aware of water scarcity issues. The demands for water reuse are expected to grow and companies will be compelled to seek innovations that ensure the cleanliness of the water they discharge.

The entire water industry is working on new innovative solutions, including ways to reuse waste water. This is why Aquatech has widened its focus on industrial

and waste water and on bringing industrial water users and suppliers together.

“Aquatech Amsterdam is the ideal platform for developing a dialogue with one’s suppliers, research partners and relations. We had a very successful exhibition, which enabled us to stimulate strategic partnerships between innovative companies and to connect with various organisations.

In addition to welcoming an impressive number of Dutch visitors, Aquatech again made clear the added value of the international exposure this exhibition offers. Although as a drinking water company, we may have been a bit of an outsider exhibiting at Aquatech, we more than succeeded in realising our goals. The event exceeded all our expectations!”
