IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition will bring together core water groups, such as those focused on urban water and urban water services, as well as participants from industry, architects and urban planners, soil and groundwater experts and hydrologists, social scientists, the ICT sector and others.

In 2021, Finland was ranked first in the Sustainable Development Index comparing 193 UN Member States on 17 Sustainable Development Goals. One of Finland’s key strengths is the Finnish Water Way – a multi-stakeholder approach towards sustainable water management and making use of cutting-edge technologies.
