Vietwater 2016 Expo & Forum, Vietnam's leading international water supply, sanitation, water resources, and purification event, organised by UBM Asia, will take place at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre in Ho Chi Minh City on November 9-11, 2016.

Hosted by the Vietnam Water Supply and Sewerage Association (VWSA) and supported by the Ministry of Construction (MOC), Vietwater is renowned as the flagship business platform in the drainage, sewerage, and water supply industries.

Featuring over 400 exhibitors from 38 countries and regions and 15 international pavilions, participants hail from France, Germany, Australia, Finland, Belgium, Japan, mainland China, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, just to name a few countries.

Vietwater 2016 expects to welcome over 10,000 trade visitors, professionals, consultants, engineers, key decision-makers, thought leaders, and government representatives.

According to Cao Lai Quang, VWSA’s chairman, the Vietnamese water sector has seen more than its fair share of challenges, such as a shortage of investment capital, lack of clean water sources, especially in the context of the current drought, pollution, and salty marshes.

“This exhibition is a golden opportunity for key players in the sector to exchange information, experiences, find new partners as well as update on new technologies,” Quang said.

Under the same roof with the three-day exhibition, Vietwater 2016 will also host a series of Technical Seminars and Workshops.

In particular, Vietwater 2016 will be co-located with Vietnam's leading renewable energy and energy efficiency exhibition, RE & EE Vietnam 2016, which will work towards offering sustainable means of development in the water and energy sectors of Vietnam and the region.
