On Tuesday 15 October, ICT Group will once again organise the ICT Group Water Congress at Green Village in Nieuwegein. Last year, the theme of the congress was ‘Intelligent Water Management: A source of inspiration’. Upcoming edition of the Water Congress will be focused on resilience.

Resilience in the water domain


Today's challenges require resilient water systems. Because how do we build together a water domain that can withstand climate change with excessive rainfall and long periods of drought, pollution of drinking and surface water and all this in the context of sustainability? During the water conference, we will look across various axes at initiatives that exist, projects in the water domain and available technologies and platforms.

Program ICT Group Water Congress

The program for the ICT Group Water Congress is now available. Through the presentations, we will explore various initiatives, projects, and available technologies and platforms in the water domain that address the challenges ahead. New this year is that we have indicated for each presentation whether it is focused on policy, process, or technology. This way, you can make your choices even more easily. Check out the full program!

    Keynote presentation: 

    Working together for clean water: The Power of the Clean Maas Water Chain

    Good water quality is essential for our society, for example, 7 million people in the Netherlands and Belgium depend on the Maas as a source of their drinking water. Protecting and improving water quality is a complex task, which is why water boards, water companies and Rijkswaterstaat are actively sharing their knowledge and expertise within the Clean Maas Water Chain. With the help of a joint measurement network and the complete mapping of wastewater discharges by companies, we are getting a better grip on pollution. The basis for this is the Atlas for a Clean Maas, where data and information from all partners are pooled to jointly reduce emissions of pollutants in the Maas river basin. Although true cooperation is easier said than done, in the end you achieve more together than alone!

It's back: The information market


During the conference, apart from attending various presentations, you can also watch various demos. For example, Schneider Electric and their customer Suez talk more about Urban Drainage software, ICT Applied Solutions shows their IoT solution ConNXT, Phoenix Contact talks about their PLCnext and Industrial Cybersecurity solution, and Cimpro shows their TBox IoT solution for the water domain. ABB shares the ABB Optimax solution for optimising energy consumption.

Don't miss out!


Do you work at a water authority, drinking water company, municipality or engineering consultancy and do you deal with (process) automation and digitalisation in the field of waste, surface or drinking water, among others?  Then don't miss the leading ICT Group Water Congress!
