Aquatech Amsterdam 2011 – your place to be Everybody involved in process, drinking and waste water, will be in Amsterdam in November 2011, celebrating the 23rd edition of Aquatech Amsterdam. The thriving success of the international trade exhibition will again generate further growth, attracting more visitors and exhibitors alike. The event is the only truly waterfocussed trade exhibition for the global water industry. Aquatech is the world’s leading trade event for process, drinking and waste water. New at Aquatech Amsterdam will be the presentation of Integrated Aqua Solutions, a showcase of stunning water projects that are under construction or recently been completed. Aquatech’s worldwide reputation Given 50 years of experience, organiser Amsterdam RAI skillfully managed to establish Aquatech’s current solid reputation in the global water market. Since the first Aquatech took place in Amsterdam in 1964, the brand has spread its tributaries worldwide. Aquatech exhibitions have been held in North America, South America and South East Asia. Highly successful are the Aquatech Global Events in China, the USA and India.

These exceptional opportunities are offered at the various podia, including: ■ IWA conferences with leading experts ■ AquaStages with practical solutions ■ Exclusive excursions to leading-edge Dutch water treatment plants and projects ■ Integrated Aqua Solutions with presentations of world’s most stunning water projects
Simultaneously taking place are Aquaterra, the world forum on delta & coastal development, and Integrated Aqua Solutions. All events will be part of this Holland International Water Week. Global water market about to double The water market is increasingly dynamic. Growing awareness of the importance of clean water and the necessity for integrated water resource management, stimulate the research and development
of new water technologies and the improvement of the existing technologies. Aging water infrastructures need replacement, population growth demands expansion, higher standards for water quality trigger sophisticated treatment, and climate change will challenge the water sector to make water supplies more robust. The water sector has many challenges ahead.
The overall global water market topped the USD 350 billion in 2007 and is on its way to double in 2025. The annual growth is estimated at 5 -10 %. During the financial crises many hard hit countries speeded up the realisation of their planned water projects, for sake of employment. So on the short term the water market is expected to maintain its spectacular growth figures. In the long run this growth will continue, because water is vital for economic prosperity.

Integrated Aqua Solutions New: The world’s most stunning water projects Organised at the same time as Aquatech Amsterdam. This event showcases the world’s most stunning water engineering projects that are under construction or have recently been completed. Companies and organisations are invited to show these projects at a special stand on the exhibition floor, as well as with a presentation at the AquaStage.
Transition economies like China, India and Brazil experience this every day. Aquatech Amsterdam reflects these latest developments in the water market, not only in regard to fast developing technologies like membrane filtration, energy saving desalination, UV-disinfection and water reuse, but also in regard to regions where investments in new water facilities are above average.
“Aquatech Amsterdam is the ideal platform for us to meet the water industry professionals of Europe.” 3M Nederland B.V., A.C.M. Kroon, Senior Marketing Coordinator
Focus on attracting high quality visitors The visitors for Aquatech come from all over the globe. In 2008 the trade exhibition attracted visitors from 48 countries, making it truly international. Months ahead of the event Amsterdam RAI will unroll a unprecedented global multimedia marketing campaign especially targeted at countries with great market potential. This includes the large markets that develop slowly, such as France, Germany,
the UK and the Netherlands. But it covers also the smaller markets that develop fast, for example in countries around the Mediterranean Sea and in Eastern Europe. Moreover, the global campaign will address water experts and utility managers in the industry. Specially on industrial segments that depend heavily on water, such as paper and pulp, food processing, beverage, chemical/petro chemical, pharmaceutical and textile.
Is your innovation a winner?
International Aquatech Innovation Award 2011 The presence of thousands of professional visitors will encourage the exhibitors to show their most innovative products and service.

All exhibitors take part with their products or service and nominated companies will have the opportunity to present their novelties, attracting extra attention to them. A jury of experts selects the winners in separate segments – transport and storage, water treatment, point of use, process control technology and process automation. From the winners of these segments, one overall winner is selected. It will be the seventh hand out of the Aquatech Innovation Award.
