Israel Export Institute to bring you Water Week - four days of international

and local focus on water management, with WATEC 2019 featuring proudly as the

flagship event. Sessions will incorporate workshops, roundtables and panel

discussions with much interaction from all participants. The only conference

does not simply exhibit pipes and other equipment, regardless of how large and

lovely they may be."

which will bring together investors, entrepreneurs, technology providers,

users, consumers and integrators, while uniting all with the goal to create a

new eco-system through unique roundtable discussions, workshops and

brain-storming sessions where water transformation occurs every single day in

the water field. This Investor Summit will provide a unique platform to

leverage these opportunities to accelerate water technologies for providing

fresh water to future generations.

During the Event, participants will be given a real and hands on experience of

the Israeli solutions deployed on sites with customized tours.

Access to safe water has a tremendous impact on the world. According to studies

it's the 5th global risk facing the world today. In the last century, water

consumption was increased by 600%. By 2050 water demand will grow by a further

55% leaving 40% of the global population in "water stressed areas"*.
