Opening Plenary: Global Counter CurrentsRadical movements and new voices in the form of entrepreneurs, technical innovators and social actors are reshaping international discourse on issues as diverse as climate change, renewable energy, social media, and AI. Why is it then, that within the global water business, we continually accept the same narratives? These tell us that populations are set to explode, and political tensions are escalating, causing ever greater challenges for water and wastewater management at local, regional and global scales. The future will be one of constrained resources, of making do with less. Access to finance will be restricted, forcing maintenance bills to rise. The 2020 Global Water Summit sets out to question these assumptions. Could the long-term trend for populations be one of decline? Will energy be so cheap and plentiful that new business models proliferate, along with new technologies? Will new trends in finance lead to a boom in projects? Might the circular economy bring about a new era of stability? Can corporate water strategies towards 2030 redefine sustainable and prosperous relationships with the environment? In order to grow our businesses and identify opportunities, this session questions our received wisdom, and asks where the assumptions we make about the future of water are wrong.

TechnologiesUninvented Technologies Uninvented Technologies: Is the water industry making enough effort to listen to the voice of the utilities? This session addresses whether the water sector is too conservative and risk-averse or if it’s just the market’s lack of understanding what utilities are looking for. Booky Oren, a renowned technology implementation specialist will be moderating the session. The session empowers utility leaders to share their unsolved challenges with technology vendors who have the chance to get exposed to their customers’ needs and with peer utilities in order to initiate collaboration to address their mutual challenges. A first glimpse of potential solutions addressing the utilities’ needs will be presented.

WastewaterLeading the Sludge Revolution Sludge management is no longer tucked away at the wrong end of a wastewater treatment plant. It is becoming an industry in its own right with a whole new set of income streams, and increasingly its own balance sheet. With little public opposition to private ownership, it’s ready to break free from its traditional position in the value chain to develop synergies in the broader world of waste to value. This session maps out the future of sludge as the revolution progresses.
