The activities of the sixth Cairo Water Week were launched a short while ago, under the title “Working on Adaptation in the Water Sector for Sustainability,” which will continue until next November 2, under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
The week's activities include holding many high-level meetings, regional workshops, and technical sessions, as well as presentations and contributions from prominent international speakers, and the presentation of scientific research from experts, professors, students, university graduates, and school students.
An exhibition will be organized in parallel with the week's activities, which will provide a unique opportunity for all public and private institutions working in the water sector to showcase their programmes, products and innovations in various fields such as water desalination, renewable energy and water technology.
A new competition was also launched for the first time at Cairo Water Week under the title “Innovation Award in Water Management,” which aims to encourage access to innovative applied solutions to the challenges facing water management and preserve it as a sustainable resource, find creative and practical solutions to these challenges, and encourage entrepreneurs and innovators. Those interested in the field of water and environmental conservation are encouraged to participate practically in several topics.
It is worth noting that a cooperation protocol was signed between the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation and one of the specialized companies to prepare an integrated platform for Cairo Water Week that includes all the week’s events to facilitate the organizers and participants and achieve more effective communication between the participants and the week’s secretariat.
