ASIAWATER 2024 Opens: Charting a Course for Water Resilience through Innovation
Industry leaders unveil cutting-edge solutions for a sustainable water future.
ASIAWATER 2024, the region’s leading event dedicated to water and wastewater solutions for developing Asia, officially opened its floodgates at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) in Malaysia. This marks the start of a three-day expo and forum poised to attract over 20,000 industry professionals from 61 countries, eager to explore cutting-edge solutions that will shape a more sustainable future for water.
With the region facing a growing population and the ever-present threat of climate change, ASIAWATER 2024 emerges as a critical platform for collaboration. Themed “Water Transformation and Climate Change: Innovation for Resilience,” the event underscores the urgency of safeguarding our water security in the face of these profound challenges. This theme resonates deeply, highlighting the need for innovative and resilient approaches to water management. The event unites industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders to chart a course for a more sustainable water future.
YB Tuan Haji Akmal Nasrullah bin Mohd Nasir, Deputy Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) inaugurated the event and read the speech from YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah Bin Haji Yusof, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), highlighting the government’s unwavering commitment to addressing water challenges and advancing sustainable water management practices across the region.
ASIAWATER 2024 is a cornerstone event for developing Asia, fostering knowledge exchange, showcasing advancements, and forging partnerships crucial to addressing water challenges. Rapid urbanisation and population growth put immense strain on water resources. Balancing the needs of a growing population with sustainable water management is vital to prevent over-extraction. This necessitates a collaborative and integrated approach.
