On January 26 the second edition of WaterMatch will be taking place in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. This year it will be the official side event of the WaterLink symposium about which you will find more information below.
WaterLink brings together entrepreneurs, researchers and decision makers in the water technology industry. In fact the whole symposium is water technology focuses. In addition to the plenary session, there are various theme sessions out of which participants can choose those of their interest. In other words, the programme can be custom-made to the interest of each participant. The second edition of WaterMatch is an official side event of this Symposiuml. It offers participants the opportunity to meet potential business partners during one-on-one meetings . The objective is to identify cross-border business opportunities and stimulate collaboration between water technology businesses world-wide. As participants have to book meetings in advance, this concept has proven to be very successful and has generated many international cooperations.
