Borneo International Water & Wastewater Exhibition & Conference
The Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) is currently gauging interest from the Dutch water sector in participating in a potential Netherlands Pavilion at the Borneo International Water & Wastewater Exhibition & Conference (BIWWEC), which is taking place from July 15-17 in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.
The pavilion would aim at bringing together Dutch water companies, knowledge institutes, and government organisations to showcase Dutch expertise and strengthen collaboration with partners in Sarawak and the wider Southeast Asian region.
Are you interested in connecting with water sector stakeholders in Malaysia and Southeast Asia? NWP invites Dutch water companies, knowledge institutes, and government organisations to express their interest in joining a possible Netherlands Pavilion at BIWWEC 2026.
Global partnerships for a climate-ready future
BIWWEC is Sarawak's international congregation of water and wastewater experts, organised biennially by the Malaysia Water Association (MWA) Sarawak Branch. The 2026 edition carries the theme Global Partnerships for a Climate-Ready Water Future. It reflects the event's focus on cross-border collaboration to advance water security and resilience across Borneo and the ASEAN region.
BIWWEC 2026 also marks an important milestone: it takes place two years ahead of the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition 2028, which will likewise be hosted in Kuching. This makes the 2026 edition a valuable opportunity to build relationships and visibility in Sarawak well in advance of that global gathering.
The Netherlands and Sarawak share a strong and growing partnership. Over the past years, high-level delegations from Sarawak have visited the Netherlands several times to explore cooperation in water management, climate resilience, and sustainable infrastructure. The Netherlands Pavilion at BIWWEC 2026 would build on this foundation, offering Dutch organisations a platform to deepen existing ties and develop new collaborations in this strategically important market.
