On March 18, 19 and 20, the entire national water chain is coming to Evenementenhal Gorinchem for Aqua Nederland. Here professionals from the water industry come together to share knowledge, make and maintain contacts, and discover the latest innovations in the market. The focus during Aqua Nederland is on the four water pillars Waste Water, Drinking Water, Process Water and Urban Water & Sewer Management. For the first time, the official KNW Fitting Competitions will also be organized during the fair.
Once every two years the KNW Fittery Competitions are organized. For the first time, the official competitions will be held during Aqua Netherlands in March 2025. In the arena, teams from all ten Dutch water companies will compete to install a tap on a pressurized water pipe in the fastest time. In addition, there is plenty of space around the arena to meet each other.
Teams with professional mechanics also compete for the world title at the World Championships, held alternately in the United States and the Netherlands. In addition, women's, student and executive teams compete for the fastest time within their category.
Since 2022, Aqua Netherlands has consisted of two exhibition halls: The Water Marketplace (downstairs) and Next Level (upstairs), with each hall having its own focus. At Next Level, qualitative knowledge sharing is paramount with two knowledge theaters focused on various themes from the water sector. Next Level also offers a platform to engineering and consultancy firms, knowledge and industry parties, educators and specific suppliers focused on climate adaptation and urban water management.
Also returning to Aqua Nederland in cooperation with Water Alliance is the Start-up & Innovation Pavilion. Here, several companies will present their groundbreaking solutions for the water industry.
In the large exhibition hall downstairs, more than 250 exhibitors are present to present and demonstrate their products and services in the field of water technology and water treatment. This forms the product marketplace where supply and demand meet. Both unmistakable A-players and important small companies and start-ups are present at Aqua Netherlands to present themselves to the visiting water sector.
Aqua Netherlands is once again offering an inspiring and substantive knowledge program this year. Speakers from renowned knowledge partners such as Water Alliance, KWR, Stichting RIONED, KNW and the Water Purification Alliance (TAUW, Croonwolter&dros, Mobilis, RWB and Sweco) will take you through everything that is going on within the water sector. Themes such as water quality and availability, water purification and circularity, and water process and systems are covered within the knowledge program that can be attended free of charge on all three days of Aqua Netherlands.
Aqua Netherlands will take place in Evene-mentenhal Gorinchem on March 18, 19 and 20, 2025. The fair attracts representatives from municipalities, provinces, the GWW sector, water boards, drinking water companies and industry. Exhibitors present their solutions for rainwater drainage and collection, sewerage, sewage treatment plants, water treatment, water management and water technology.
A few booth locations are still available for exhibitors who would like to showcase their products or services to a valuable audience of water professionals. Contact Maurice de Weerd at [email protected] or call 0183 - 680 683.
