The scale and nature of the challenges – from climate change to legacies of underinvestment to many more challenges we face in the water industry – call for alignment, leadership, shared responsibilities and collaboration that go beyond Business-As-Usual. This session will bring together the perspectives of all stakeholders within the water industry to tackle how the industry can come together more effectively and overcome water challenges faced by cities throughout the world. Best practices and insights from previous SIWW events will be revisited, and the session will encourage focused dialogue and new thinking to push the water envelope.

12 July 2016 (Tuesday) Morning
Water Leaders Roundtable – "Future of World’s Water beyond 2030" This session will take a serious look at the future of world’s urban water and wastewater management beyond 2030 in its totality. It will focus on urban water and wastewater issues, ranging from safeguarding the water supply to how best sustainability of cities can be ensured in terms of domestic and industrial water supplies beyond 2030 with numerous uncertainties, including the security of water supply from the hinterlands. Moderator: Prof Asit K. Biswas, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore; and co-Founder, Third World Centre for Water Management Speakers: • Dr David Molden, Director General, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development • Mr Ng Joo Hee, Chief Executive, PUB Singapore • Mr Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, Chairman of the Board, Nestlé S.A. WLS Insights II & III WLS delegates will join one of two sessions (held in parallel) for focused discussions on two themes of interest in the current context. A. WLS Insights II [Parallel] – “Raising the Water Agenda for Cities” Co-organised with AECOM There are many factors affecting the development of a sustainable city during the course of urbanisation. Urban planning has to take into consideration of various components such as infrastructure, economy, communication, environment, energy, culture, education, welfare, security, etc. However, the role of water does not always come naturally to top of mind when considering the success of an urban development in modern time. Although water is identified as a key for sustainable development, some cities may have challenges to prioritise investment. This session looks into how leaders can bring together “Policy and Programmes”, and “People” to help raise the water agenda for cities. Moderator: Mr Sean Chiao, President of Asia Pacific, AECOM Speakers: • Mr Adam Lovell, Executive Director, Water Services Association of Australia • Prof Chen Qin, Vice Commissioner, Changjiang Water Resources Commission, China • Mr Denys Neymon, Chief Executive Officer Treatment Infrastructure and Executive Vice-President Groupe Human Resources, SUEZ • Mr Gerardo Ablaza Jr, President and Chief Executive Officer, Manila Water Company B. WLS Insights III [Parallel] – “The New Rules of Water Infrastructure and Technologies” Co-organised with CH2M There is a wide range of technologies and solutions available to city planners and the water industry, but by themselves these are not taking us forward fast enough. This session continues from discussions during the 2015 SIWW Technology and Innovation Summit (STIS), where we recognised that new rules and ways of problem solving must come into play to tackle existing and future challenges in enhancing our water and wastewater infrastructure for a more resilient and sustainable future. This session will spark discussions on innovative solutions to tackle these challenges and how they are hinged upon our ability to embrace new and breakthrough approaches of developing infrastructure and implementing technologies. Discussions will look into two themes of “The Water Resilient City” and “Wastewater as a Resource”. Moderator: Mr Gregory T. McIntyre, President, Global Business Groups and President, Water, CH2M Speakers: • Mr Anders Bækgaard, Chief Executive Officer, VCS Denmark • Dr Choi Gyewoon, Chief Executive Officer, K-Water • Dr Emilio Gabbrielli, President, International Desalination Association; and Director, Overseas Business Development, Toray • Mr Kevin Klau, President, Hach, Danaher Corporation • Ms Sue Murphy, Chief Executive Officer, Water Corporation, Australia
Afternoon
Closing Session – “Charting Pathways to Water Sustainability and Resilience in Cities” This session will cover how learning points from WLS sessions over the three days can be used to develop pathways to water sustainability and resilience in cities. Moderator: Prof Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore; and Chairperson, Water Leaders Summit Speakers: • Prof Asit K. Biswas, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore; and co-Founder, Third World Centre for Water Management • Ms Cindy Wallis-Lage, President, Global Water Business, Black & Veatch • Mr Gregory T. McIntyre, President, Global Business Groups and President, Water, CH2M • Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Singapore • Ms Sean Chiao, President of Asia Pacific, AECOM

China Business Forum China’s New Normal: Balancing the Economy, Liveability, and Environmental Sustainability China’s sustained economic growth has left an indelible mark on the global economic outlook. Facing a seemingly inevitable economic slowdown, China’s 13th Five-Year plan aims at steering the world’s second largest economy towards a new stage of development – the “New Normal”. Economic reform along with sustainable and inclusive growth have been identified as two key focus areas, with the private sector poised to take on a greater role in economic growth and resource efficiency. China’s Belt and Road Initiative is also expected to stimulate regional infrastructure development. Recognising the threat that environmental degradation poses to its economic goals, China is emphasising on water and environmental sustainability to elevate the quality of life. The Chinese government has rolled out initiatives including Sponge Cities and a major revision of the Environmental Protection Law. This Business Forum will delve deeper into the challenges and opportunities of China’s New Normal, and offer insights into what these could mean for industry players, professionals and individuals keen on the Chinese market.

With rapid urbanisation, water, and cities infrastructure are steadily becoming some of the key priorities of the country leaders. Coupled with environmental issues surrounding pollution and climate change, businesses and governments are scrambling to implement policy changes to support the growth of their respective cities. The Southeast Asia Business Forum is the platform for both government officials and utilities leaders to share on policy changes and upcoming projects.

Latin America Business Forum NEW Challenges and Opportunities in Latin America By 2050, Latin America is projected to grow to 750 million inhabitants, with UN-Habitat projecting that 90% will be living in cities. To cater to this, Latin American countries have been cultivating relationships globally to facilitate trade and investment opportunities, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership to lower trade barriers and tariffs between Asia-Pacific and Latin American counterparts. This forum will draw leaders of the region to share urban, water, and environmental challenges and solutions, with focus on the two largest Latin American countries: Brazil and Mexico. The Mexican government’s 2014-2018 National Infrastructure Plan will see public and private investments in infrastructure reach US$590 billion, and the Brazilian government has announced a new list of planned infrastructure concessions worth US$55 billion to be auctioned off to private sector companies. Business leaders familiar with this region will share market trends, their experiences and views on doing business in these countries.

India Business Forum The Challenge of India’s Inclusive Growth — Development Aspirations and Investment Opportunities Come 2030, 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas and contributing to 75% of the country's GDP. To meet the challenges arising from this – the pressure on basic services, infrastructure, utilities, and the environment – India needs to build new cities, retrofit existing ones, and create new jobs over the next two decades. India’s government is already making a start to balance its economic growth with sustainable development, putting three mega schemes into action – Smart Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), and Housing for All. These will set in motion the process of urban transformation to enable a rejuvenated framework of physical, social, economic, and institutional infrastructure development. This Business Forum will inquire India’s onset investment towards its development aspirations, and the synergic business opportunities that are made available as a result of India’s impending growth and its cities of opportunity.
