With energy and water intrinsically linked, industries are searching for innovative solutions to improve water sustainability across the value chain. The inaugural Industrial Water Solutions Forum examines challenges
faced by industrial sectors, such as energy and manufacturing, in water management and how innovative solutions could address such challenges. Leaders from industrial water users can network and exchange knowledge. Participants can expect an intensive exchange on the risks and challenges for large industrial water users and discuss opportunities for current water solution providers in industrial water management.
