Water Climate Future
Water industry in the age of climate change - innovative solutions for the challenges of the future
The water industry is facing major challenges. The changes brought about by climate change are forcing us to use water and wastewater resources more carefully. Unfortunately, this trend goes hand in hand with fewer available skilled workers. Innovative solutions with innovative digital approaches must be a key to overcoming these challenges.
The key topic of this year's IFAT is "Adapting to the results of climate change". In Munich, we will be presenting pioneering technologies and concepts that help to optimise water cycles on the one hand and protect people from the dangers of water on the other.
From communication logic to smart sewer concepts, we support the path to an optimised water cycle. Our heavy rain early warning system provides reliable warnings, giving you time to take measures to protect people and assets.
Visit us from 13. to 17. May in Hall C1, Stand 251/350 and experience the latest measurement technology for precise data acquisition live at our stand!
We present the following topics, among others:
- Intelligent measurement systems for the optimisation of water distribution networks
- Innovative measurement technology solutions for water treatment and disposal
- Comprehensive digital services for data analysis and visualisation
- Digital tools to support water management and governance
- AI-based solutions for heavy rain early warning and sewer network monitoring
You can also benefit from the dialogue with experts:
- Networking with experts from the water industry
- Continuous top-class keynote speeches in our Speakers Area
- Discussion of current challenges and trends with our experts on site
Speakers Area
In our Speakers Area, we offer you keynote speeches on current issues and challenges at our exhibition stand. Supported by recognised experts from science and practice, we present a comprehensive lecture programme.
We look forward to meeting you there!
