Your chance to connect with the incoming delegations visiting Aquatech Amsterdam

Aquatech Amsterdam attracts over 20,000 attendees, of which more than 70% comes from outside the Netherlands. The visiting water professionals stem from all over the world and they are active as policymakers, operators, specialists, and users of technology. They gather for four days of lively networking and doing business.

Looking for international business opportunities?

NWP and partners intend to offer Dutch companies and organisations the chance to connect with the incoming delegation members one-on-one and promote their expertise and/or solutions by participating in the extensive incoming mission programme. Delegations are expected from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and the USA. 

Connect with international delegations

By organising these delegation visits in a coherent incoming mission programme, we aim to offer Dutch organisations a unique opportunity to connect with the delegation members, and a guaranteed chance of qualitative matches. In order to register your participation, please sign up via the registration form at the bottom if this page. 

We encourage Dutch participants in the programme to contact us with ideas for sessions or topics that you would like to profile to incoming delegations. We will do our utmost to include your suggestion in the programming. 

The daily programme for incoming delegations

The programme will include, amongst others:

• Daily welcome ceremony to start the day at the Netherlands Pavilion, including a pitch talk by each of the delegation leaders about what they are looking for
• Round-table sessions on specific topics hosted by Dutch organisations
• Exhibition tours visiting the Netherlands Pavilion and other Dutch exhibitors at Aquatech Amsterdam
• Dutch Double Dates (support in matchmaking)
• Attending the networking reception at the Netherlands Pavilion
• Optional: Site visits to your company or organisation

If you sign up to participate in the programme for incoming delegations, you will receive regular updates about the delegation members and programming, such as matchmaking activities and the renowned networking reception at the Netherlands Pavilion. 

You will be offered unique access to the delegation members, including the chance to host a round-table session, plus the opportunity to request a meeting with a specific delegation. 

On top of that, we plan to promote participants beforehand to the incoming delegations, which increases international brand awareness and opportunities for making new connections. 

Participation costs

Dutch organisations that do not participate in Aquatech Amsterdam are invited to sign up for € 500.00 ex. VAT. 

Participants in the Netherlands Pavilion automatically participate in the incoming mission programme as part of their stand package, without additional costs. Dutch organisations that have their own booth at Aquatech Amsterdam are also invited to join the incoming delegations programme.

Per participant, a maximum of 2 persons is allowed to the programme. Each participant is offered the opportunity to host a maximum of 2 round table sessions on a topic of their choice. Lunch is included, travel and other expenses are excluded. 

The members of the incoming delegations are presented with a programme of round table sessions. Registered participants are offered the chance to host one (or more) of those roundtable sessions and present their topic (and expertise) to the delegation members. For participants, this means you will open the round table session with a short introduction, and you will lead the subsequent discussion.

Round table sessions are expected to be held daily between 12:00-14:00. Hosting a round table session will take 20-50 minutes of your time, depending on your preference.
