The world of water and wastewater management will converge at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre ( SECC ), Ho Chi Minh City for the 2nd VIETWATER Expo & Forum from 10 - 12 November 2009. Officially hosted by the Vietnam Water Supply Association, VIETWATER '10 is the biggest Expo & Conference for the fast growing water and wastewater industry in Vietnam bringing together over 5,000 industry professionals and experts and over 200 exhibitors. It is proven platform for industry professionals to get updated on the latest trends and developments and to build valuable partnerships. It is also where water supply & sewerage companies, consultants, contractors, industrial wastewater treatment professionals and decision makers look for cost-effective solutions and technology.

Latest finding from UNESCO indicate that millions of people in Vietnam still do not have access to clean water. As such, 170 urban water supply projects, valued at close to USD1 billion, which are aimed at providing clean water throughout the nation by 2020 are underway. For the rural regions, the government has targeted to provide 100 percent of the population with access to safe water by 2020. In addition, deteriorating infrastructure has caused water supply companies to experience high non-revenue water losses.

As such, the Vietnamese government has allocated huge budgets for new water supply projects in order to meet ever-increasing demand for clean water for domestic and industrial consumption. At the same time, water supply and sanitation companies are implementing projects to improve water management and efficiency. As rapid industrialization and urbanization continues, the demand for water and water treatment technology in Vietnam will be among the fastest-growing in the world.

VIETWATER Expo & Forum provides the stage for the gathering of top professionals in the water and wastewater industry. Government officials, regulators, water and sewerage companies, manufacturers, industrial users, consultants and industry experts make it their business to attend this important event. Over 5,000 trade buyers and delegates attended VIETWATER 2008 which generated over USD10.85 million on-the-spot business during the 3-day event.

Here's why you should join over 200 of the biggest names in the industry and make VIETWATER 2010 your No.1 marketing priority.
