Water Market Europe 2023
14-15 March 2023, BluePoint Brussels
Are you ready to boost your business?

The European Union policy framework has secured public safety and health objectives by the Drinking Water, Bathing Water and Floods Directives and the ongoing development and implementation of minimum requirements for water reuse.
Despite the valuable output of implemented measures and solutions, persistent problems are still a major, and sometimes unknown, risk factor for water resources. Past contaminated sites and industrial activities managing hazardous chemicals, such as highly persistent compounds, together with agriculture and food production (pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics etc.), and household activities release a number of substances that individually or combined represent a concern for the safety of water resources.
The deployment of innovative solutions able to detect and remove biological and chemical pollutants, including suspect and non-targeted pollutants and prevent pollution of water sources is an urgent challenge to address for the water industry. That’s why Water Market Europe 2023 is made for you to address challenges and needs for innovation by matchmaking the demand and the offer for efficient solutions for the protection of water from pollution and removal of biological and chemical emerging contaminants.
Water Market Europe 2023 offers problem owners and solution providers the opportunity to boost their business by facilitating the matchmaking between demand and offer of advanced innovative solutions such as
✅ Advanced and cost-effective drinking and wastewater water treatment and disinfection processes and technologies, including transformative solutions able to detect and remove contaminants
✅ Technologies and tools to protect water sources from biological and chemical pollution, including emerging contaminants.
✅ Biological and chemical contamination emergency response technologies and tools.
✅ Advanced, integrated and cost-effective digital devices and systems, including AI and ML, sensors and analytical methods for detection and removal of contaminants in water sources and treatment processes.
✅ Innovative and robust monitoring systems and real-time information on drinking water quality, from sources to supply.
