Let’s meet at Aqua Nederland 2024

Help to take your innovation to market

The TKI Water Technology Programme was established to help entrepreneurs and innovators find their way through the Dutch knowledge and innovation landscape. The Programme is tailored to entrepreneurs and innovators who offer solutions for specific challenges in the agriculture, food, and horticulture sectors, or operate in the fields of energy, and clean and healthy water. It provides information about financing opportunities and connects you to knowledge institutes and other SMEs.

If you are interested in what the TKI Programme can do for you, please visit our walk-in stand, and request a free consultation directly through Arjan Braamskamp. He will be at your service every day from 13:30 to 14:30 at the Aqua Business Lounge. If you are interested but are not able to attend, send him an email to a.braamskamp@nwp.nl.

If you have any questions about further developing your innovation, write down your question and hang it on the Wall of Support at the fair. Or if you have an answer to any of the questions, stick your business card underneath and get connected.

Networking Dinner with live music

Will you attend Aqua Nederland in Gorinchem on Tuesday 19 March? Then we cordially invite you to join us at the Networking Dinner, which we are organising with Easyfairs and Water Alliance. After drinks at the AquaLounge and a short welcome from Netherlands Water Partnership, Water Alliance, and Water for Life, we will start a walking dinner with live music. Don't miss the walk-in at 17:30. After all, the fair closes its doors at 18:00. This is a networking opportunity not to be missed, and you will also avoid traffic jams. The dinner will take place in the foyer of the Evenementenhal Gorinchem. Registration for the dinner is mandatory. Register via Aqua Nederland Netwerkdiner.

Knowledge sessions at the Water Theatre

The TKI Programme will hold a knowledge session at the Water Theatre every day. Please note that the sessions are in Dutch.

Tuesday, 19 March

Time: 10:00 - 11:30

Processed water is often not drinking water, but it should be there!

Water supplies in the Netherlands are under pressure and regulations for discharge to surface water are becoming stricter. Working on taking the right steps in plants will prevent costs from increasing in the future, or worse, the plant being shut down. Three companies will present their views.

Wednesday 20 March

Time: 10:15 - 12:00

PFAS Forever or not?

PFAS has advantages, but certainly also disadvantages. Some types of PFAS have now been banned, but all kinds of PFAS still end up in sewage and surface water via various routes. What do the laws and regulations say about this and which techniques are the most obvious or perhaps already in use? Four views, each from its own angle.

Thursday 21 March

Time: 10:00 - 11:30

Drinking water under less and less pressure, what are the options and advice for the future for taking drinking water for granted?

From around 1960 onwards, almost all of the Netherlands has been supplied with tap water, and everyone takes it for granted. But dry summers, micropollutants and growing drinking water consumption are putting increasing pressure on this self-evident supply. Three companies take a closer look at this issue.
