Water Infrastructure: Innovation, Resilience & Renewal

30 Apr 2025
Infrastructure Forum
Start-Ups

Our water infrastructure plays a pivotal role in the functioning of our society and the economy, providing reliable access to resources while managing risks such as wastewater contamination, flooding, drought and environmental degradation. However, rising global temperatures and an ageing infrastructure network are growing issues, making modernisation essential to ensure long-term resilience and safeguard key economic sectors.

This session will explore how technology, innovation and strategic partnerships are strengthening our water systems against climate impacts. Join industry leaders and key stakeholders as they discuss the path to water resilience – what’s needed, what’s possible and the challenges that must be addressed.
