European Water Management Dialogue
Water is far more than a natural resource — it is a strategic factor for Europe's long-term future. This high-level panel brings together leading representatives from the European Commission, industry, and the technology sector, to discuss the role of water in adressing climate risks, supporting sustainable economic growth and strengthening water security across Europe.
The discussion will focus on key European initiatives and explore how regulation, technological innovation and effective governance can accelerate transformation in the water sector. As pressure on water systems continues to grow, the panel will highlight practical pathways — from resilient infrastructure and efficient industrial use to new approaches to water management across global value chains and in consumer use.
