Water is a key resource for the existence of all life on the planet, and it is also the lifeblood of industry.

In view of this, we need to learn how to use water resources rationally and sparingly, based on the principles of the circular water economy.

Therefore, PAEW initiated this project to:

• Draw attention of a wide range of interested national and international stakeholders to the problems related to water security not only in Ukraine, but also on the whole continent;
• Create opportunities and incentives for further development of cooperation and implementation of joint projects in 2025;
• Facilitate and strengthen political dialogue between partner countries, which is important for food, industrial and agricultural chains;
• Expand opportunities for interaction, introduction of new technologies and equipment for water treatment and water purification, modern solutions for wastewater treatment, water quality and flow control devices, water treatment automation systems and other water supply equipment;
• Promote export and import activities;
• Promote the exchange of innovations and knowledge in the water sector.

The forum will be dedicated to water policy in Ukraine and the EU, as well as the restoration of Ukraine's water infrastructure.

We will discuss the experience of the EU and various European countries in creating appropriate and effective water legislation for the conservation and sustainable use of water resources. Methods and technologies of reconstruction, municipal water supply and water conservation in communities are to be addressed in the discussion as well.

In addition, a professional session will be held on industrial water use at industrial enterprises and the agricultural sector. Among other issues, we will focus on international experience in resource conservation and circular use of limited water resources, and the key role of water resources in ensuring food security.

Representatives of the governments and companies of the Netherlands, Israel, the USA, Austria, Germany, and others, as well as representatives of the Ukrainian agro-industrial complex, enterprises of other industries, municipal water utilities, equipment manufacturers, engineering, installation and service companies, research and design institutes, have been invited to participate in the forum.

The objectives of the forum are to launch a permanent high-quality dialogue between Ukrainian and European stakeholders in the water sector, to develop an action plan to further mobilize the efforts of Ukrainian stakeholders with international partners in the reconstruction and recovery of Ukraine, and to create a platform for communication and exchange of ideas, solutions and business proposals.
