Discussion with International Water Delegations

British Expertise International and the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) are delighted to invite UK industry to meet with international stakeholders and buyers visiting London for the World Water Tech Innovation Summit.

Join us on Monday 20th February to network with some of the international delegations from the public and private sector who are in London for the World Water Tech show.  The event will provide the opportunity to showcase the UK’s offer in the WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) sector and Infrastructure Exports:UK, and will feature a panel of senior stakeholders discussing some of the cross-cutting issues and innovations in the sector. The panel will be followed by a light networking lunch.

We are expecting senior international delegates, representing utilities and water ministries, from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Peru, South Africa, the Dominican Republic, Kuwait, Brazil, Tanzania, Kenya and the Philippines. In addition, we will be joined by DBT officials based overseas who will also be in London for the World Water Tech conference.

The event will discuss the various challenges and opportunities faced by the global water industry, and the strong offer presented by the UK. The panel session will cover topics such as decarbonisation pathways, digitisation, innovation and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the visiting delegates at the start of their week in London, which should support further networking and meetings later in the week.

The draft outline programme is as follow:

• 09:00 – 9:30 Arrival & coffee
• 09:30 – 11:30 Presentations and panel discussion
• 11:30 – 12:30 Networking lunch
