Singapore International Water Week (SIWW): Shaping the Future of Urban Water
Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) is one of the world’s foremost gatherings for the water sector — a global platform to share, co-create, and accelerate innovative solutions for water, coastal, and flood resilience. Organised by SIWW Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of PUB (Singapore’s National Water Agency), SIWW brings together governments, utilities, academia, industry players, and city leaders to address urban water challenges from multiple angles.
A Legacy of Innovation and Impact
Launched in 2008, SIWW has evolved into a biennial cornerstone of the global water agenda. The event’s scope has grown to include several flagship programmes: the Water Convention, Water Expo, Leadership Roundtables, technical site visits, and the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize. These programmes provide a mix of expert-level discourse, hands-on innovation display, and peer-to-peer networking.
SIWW Water Expo: Marketplace of Ideas and Technology
A highlight of SIWW is the Water Expo, the region’s premier marketplace for urban water technologies. Over recent editions, it has covered large exhibition spaces, gathered hundreds of international exhibitors, and attracted thousands of trade visitors. With strong representation in digital water, climate adaptation, coastal protection and resource circularity, the Expo continues to be a dynamic hub for meaningful collaboration.
Thought Leadership & Knowledge Exchange
The Water Convention brings together global water professionals to share research and best practices across key themes such as resource circularity, climate resilience, water quality, utilities management, and flood protection. The diversity of participants — from city planners to engineers, academics, utility operators, and policymakers — fuels an environment of rich, multidisciplinary learning.
Global Recognition Through the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize
The prestigious Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize recognises individuals or organisations that have achieved transformative impact in solving global water challenges. This award underscores SIWW’s commitment to celebrating innovation while inspiring new breakthroughs in sustainable water management.
SIWW+: Extending Access Beyond the Event
SIWW+ serves as the event’s digital platform, offering on-demand access to reports, videos, technical discussions, and water industry insights. It ensures that valuable content remains available year-round, enabling continuous learning and global engagement long after each physical edition ends.
Looking Ahead: SIWW 2026
The next edition, SIWW 2026, will be held from 15–19 June 2026 at Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Marina Bay Sands. For full details about the 2026 programme and related updates, visit: https://ecomeet.sg/l/singapore-international-water-week-siww-2026/
