On October 8, 2024, at Hanoi Clean Water Company, the Vietnam Water Supply and Sewerage Association (VWSA) officially announced the Vietnam Water Week 2024 during a press meeting. This event attracted significant attention from domestic and international press and media outlets.
Across various mass media platforms, numerous articles, radio broadcasts, and television reports have provided wide and multifaceted coverage, offering readers and audiences new expectations for Vietnam’s water supply and drainage industry.
As a critical infrastructure sector of the country, the activities of Vietnam Water Week 2024 aim to showcase Vietnam’s unique water treatment technologies on the global stage. An article in Dân Việt titled, "VWSA Chairman Aims to Present Vietnamese Water Treatment Technologies to the World," highlighted this ambition. The article quoted Chairman Nguyễn Ngọc Điệp, who emphasized the role of the association, representing over 400 member enterprises. Through Vietnam Water Week 2024, these enterprises will demonstrate technologies uniquely developed by Vietnamese innovators. The goal is to showcase domestic advancements, shape a Vietnamese brand, and affirm the country’s presence in the region and globally.
Chairman Điệp also shared insights from international experiences, noting that many countries have made the water economy a central focus. "In some nations, 1 cubic meter of water generates up to 19 USD. However, in Vietnam, the efficiency is very low, only slightly over 3 USD. This highlights the need for appropriate water usage policies," he explained, emphasizing the importance of water for life and the need to enhance efficiency in its use.
He further revealed that Vietnam Water Week 2024 will feature participation from hundreds of global enterprises showcasing water and environmental technologies, particularly in the era of digital transformation, for Vietnam’s water supply and drainage sector. The organizers hope these solutions will contribute to improving investment efficiency.
In an article titled "150 Organizations and Businesses Participate in Vietnam Water Sector Exhibition," Hà Nội Mới reported that Chairman Nguyễn Ngọc Điệp expressed high expectations for the event. Building on the success of previous editions, Vietnam Water Week 2024 will serve as a forum for organizations in Vietnam and abroad to connect, explore, introduce, and transfer advanced technologies in the water sector.
Scheduled to take place from November 6 to 8 at the National Architecture, Planning, and Construction Exhibition Center in Hanoi, under the auspices of the Ministry of Construction, Vietnam Water Week 2024 will include four scientific seminars. These will cover topics such as the draft Water Supply and Drainage Law, sustainable water supply and drainage system management in the context of climate change, smart and efficient water enterprise governance, and enhancing resilience and gender equality in the water sector.
