IWA is able to offer such strategic partners bespoke packages to facilitate and optimise their participation.

Sponsorship brings high profile association with IWA’s Water and Development Congress & Exhibition, which is promoted to water sector professionals worldwide through trade, technical and business media.

Sponsors and Exhibitors of the Water and Development Congress & Exhibition can send an email to apply for session timeslots in the Business Forum programme.
