According to VNA, General Director of Informa Markets Vietnam Ben Wong said the exhibitions brought together over 450 exhibitors, including leading global manufacturers and distributors of equipment, machinery, and technology for water supply, filtration, and wastewater treatment, from 25 countries and territories across the world.

The highlight of the events is the Water Hackathon competition jointly organised by Informa Markets Vietnam, the Vietnam - Netherlands Friendship Association in HCM City, the Saigon Innovation Hub (SIHUB) under the municipal Department of Science and Technology, and the Institute for Circular Economy Development.

The hackathon will honour sustainable initiatives on water resource management, wastewater treatment, clean water supply, and digital technology applications by young talents. The contest also aims to support potential startups to develop into businesses in the future.

Nguyen Hong Hieu, Vice Director of the Department of Water Resources Management under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, hailed the organisers’ efforts to enhance visitors’ experiences through a series of international seminars, saying that these provide solutions that contribute to sustainable development of the water and the environmental sector in Vietnam.

According to Nguyen Van Nga, Chief Representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade's Southern Office, an exclusive business-matching programme held in the framework of the exhibitions offers a good opportunity for exhibitors to access potential buyers./.
