The summit will spotlight practical digital applications that enhance monitoring, operational efficiency, and decision-making in infrastructure.

Another major highlight is the 9th Industrial Water Leaders Forum (IWLF) taking place on June 9.

To encourage robust international participation, WATERTECH CHINA 2026 will introduce targeted networking programs, technical roadshows, and structured B2B meetings, designed to connect attendees with exhibitors, solution providers, and project decision-makers effectively. Furthermore, assistance with visa applications and invitation letters will be available for visiting professionals from abroad.
