THE MAGAZINE FOR THE DRAINAGE, WATER & WASTEWATER INDUSTRIES
EVENTS NEWS
The presence of country pavilions from China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, South Korea, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom further reinforced the event's global character. These pavilions offered focused insights into regional innovations and expertise, as well as local challenges.
High-quality networking and decision-making authority
What sets Aquatech Amsterdam apart is not just the quantity of visitors, but also their quality and influence within the industry. The exhibition attracts executives from water companies, industrial end-users, engineering firms, consultancies, and government agencies. 51% of visitors identified themselves as decision-makers, while 37% serve as advisors in their respective organisations.
This concentration of industry leaders and decision-makers creates an environment ripe for meaningful connections and business opportunities. It's no wonder that 95% of exhibitors recommend participating in the event, with 89% planning to return for the 2025 edition and 80% signing up immediately in 2023. All the more reason to
significantly expand the exhibition floor in 2025.
Innovation at the forefront
Aquatech Amsterdam is more than just a trade fair; it's a celebration of innovation in the water sector. New this year is the InnovationHUB, a hall where the Innovation Award nominees in the InnovationLAB, the Innovation Forum, and the EU Innovation Projects come together. All to spotlight the urgently desired, groundbreaking technologies and ideas:
• Aquatech Innovation Award: Recognition of promising new technologies and solutions in the water industry.
• InnovationLAB: A dedicated space for advanced products and services, offering a glimpse into the future of water technology.
• Aquatech Innovation Forum and the now-infamous F**k Up Night: The source of inspiration for like-minded and differently-minded individuals breaks all conference rules again in 2025. Intensive interaction, meeting, and challenging led to chance encounters and high-level discussions about trends, challenges, and solutions in the water sector.
Specialised pavilions and worlds
To help visitors navigate the vast array of technologies and solutions on display, Aquatech Amsterdam organises the exhibition into specialised "worlds" and pavilions:
• Wastewater & Resources World • Clean Water World • Digital World • Industrial & Corporate World
• Circular Economy Pavilion with partner GWI
• Bluetech Pavilion • WEFTEC Pavilion • WQA Pavilion
This thoughtful organisation ensures that visitors can easily find the solutions most relevant to their specific interests and needs.
Engaging activities and competitions
Aquatech Amsterdam also offers unique activities that add an element of relaxation and informality:
• AquaStage: A platform for exhibitors to present their technologies and solutions.
• AquaRUN for charity (Water4Life): A combination of networking with social responsibility, encouraging participants to give back to water- related causes while enjoying a friendly competition by running 5 km around the RAI venue.
• Future Water Leader Friday: Focused on the newest generation of professionals and students with a hackathon, guided tour, speed networking, and much more.
