Singapore International Water Week EDM

Season's Greetings

Dear Friends,

As 2020 draws to a close, we wish to thank everyone for your continuing support of the Singapore International Water Week throughout this challenging year. Though much of the familiar was disrupted, we adapted quickly to continue providing the global water community with opportunities to learn, engage and collaborate.

While all of us were unable to meet physically in Singapore this July for SIWW 2020, we innovated by leveraging digital capabilities and introduced our inaugural SIWW webinar series in July and our first-ever virtual event SIWW Online in November. We are delighted and thankful for the strong show of support which made these events a success.

Ever committed to creating opportunities for knowledge exchange, peer-to-peer learning and business interaction, we are pressing ahead with plans to deliver Singapore International Water Week 2021 next June as a physical show to be held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. As always, our participants’ well-being is our top priority. We are working closely with the relevant authorities in Singapore to ensure we deliver a safe and secure event for all attendees.

From all of us at SIWW, our very best wishes for the new year ahead. Keep safe, and we look forward to welcoming you in Singapore next June at SIWW 2021.

With warmest regards,

The Singapore International Water Week team

PUB Adopts Smart Tools to Detect and Pre-empt Pipe Leaks

Precious water can be lost through leaks and cracks in aged pipes over time and it is extremely difficult to locate such “hidden” leaks. How does PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, leverage smart tools and new technologies (such as leak monitoring sensors, inline pipe inspection tools and smartphone sensors) to enhance its leak detection capabilities to reduce water loss?

A GLOBAL PLATFORM TO SHARE AND CO-CREATE INNOVATIVE WATER SOLUTIONS

In 2018, SIWW also celebrated 10 years of excellence and attracted a global audience from over 110 countries and regions, as well as more than 1,000 participating companies.

COLLABORATION

The SIWW stays committed to being the pivotal platform for the creation and growth of relationships among its stakeholders from across the global water value chain, to drive business opportunities and commercialisation of key innovations to address the world's urban water challenges.

The SIWW also continues to bring together the world's best practices and access to cutting-edge technologies on a single global platform, to contribute towards water sustainability for future generations.

ENGAGING WITH THOUGHT LEADERS

The SIWW provides a stage for professionals around the world to congregate and share knowledge, insights, best practices and the latest technologies, and establish a pipeline of innovation and talent to support the global water industry.

Some signature programmes of the SIWW include the Water Leaders Summit (WLS), Water Convention (WC) and the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize (LKYWP), which bring together over 2,000 high-level government representatives, business leaders, academia and experts from international organisations to partake in strategic exchanges and discuss solutions to pressing water issues.
