Global Water Summit 2023

The global economy is moving in frightening new directions. Floods and droughts are reaching unpredictable new extremes. Markets are convulsed with uncertainty. But there is one constant: water.

Water provides continuity and reassurance in a changing world. More than that, the infrastructure and technologies we use to manage water can provide solutions to the challenges the world is facing today. The topic of this year’s Global Water Summit is “Creating a climate for growth”.

The summit will address the following questions:

How can we use the water climate nexus to solve both challenges at once?
How can we turn concerns about inflation into a productivity revolution in water?
How can we use rising public sector borrowing costs to redefine capital efficiency in procurement?
How can water become the most significant investment theme of the 2020s?

The Global Water Summit 2023 takes place in Berlin, Germany on 8-10 May 2023.
