Indo Water 2026 Expo & Forum Expands Global Reach in Support of Indonesia’s Water Infrastructure Growth
Positioned at the forefront of Indonesia’s water and wastewater sector, Indo Water continues to strengthen its global footprint through strategic international engagement. As the country accelerates the expansion of its clean water infrastructure, Indo Water 2026 Expo & Forum plays a key role in connecting Indonesia’s growing market with global industry players, technologies and investment opportunities, supporting the nation’s efforts to significantly improve water access.
Indonesia is entering one of the most dynamic phases of water sector growth in its history. Backed by strong government commitment, the country is targeting 24 million new household piped water connections by 2029, effectively doubling current coverage and extending reliable water access to approximately 93 million additional people. This initiative forms part of a comprehensive long-term roadmap under the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2025-2045, which envisions the establishment of 56 million total connections and the achievement of universal water access for more than 211 million Indonesians by 2045.

The scale of this investment programme is expected to generate sustained demand across the entire water and wastewater value chain. From strengthening water conservation to ensure long term availability, improving efficient water management and utilization, as well as enhancing disaster mitigation for floods and other hydrometeorological risks, Indonesia presents a high growth market where innovation aligns with urgent infrastructure needs.
This is a major undertaking that must be carried out with seriousness, as we must ensure that every citizen has access to clean water.

As one of Indonesia’s pioneering exhibitions for the water and wastewater sector, Indo Water continues to serve as a critical bridge between national priorities and global expertise, bringing together a comprehensive range of stakeholders across the industry. In line with Indonesia’s expanding infrastructure development agenda, the exhibition plays an important role in accelerating market development, facilitating knowledge transfer and connecting solution providers with relevant opportunities.
In support of its ongoing global engagement strategy, Indo Water participates in IE Expo China 2026, taking place on 13-15 April 2026. This participation reflects Indonesia’ growing presence in the regional water sector and reinforces Indo Water’s commitment to fostering global collaboration and partnership.
Now marking 25 years of continuous impact and proudly entering its 20th edition, Indo Water Expo & Forum stands as one of Indonesia’s leading platforms for the water and wastewater industry. Beyond serving as an exhibition, Indo Water functions as a strategic meeting point that supports Indonesia’s water and sanitation objectives. It facilitates alignment between policy and implementation, connects technology innovators with project owners and enables partnerships that drive tangible progress across the sector. Through its role in enhancing project readiness and expanding market access, the exhibition has established itself as a trusted catalyst for sustainable industry growth.
Indo Water’s 2025 edition marked a significant milestone, achieving a total gross exhibition area of 15,888 square metres and welcoming 620 exhibitors from 26 countries, including 12 international country pavilions. Energised by this result, the upcoming edition aims to raise the bar further, targeting 700 exhibitors from 30 countries and 17,000 visitors. The event will take place on 11-13 August 2026 at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Indonesia, featuring a comprehensive exhibition, global conference and extensive networking opportunities designed to foster meaningful connections among business leaders and decision makers in the industry.
Building on this commitment, the Indo Wate team will be at Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), Hall E2, Booth M05.
