Aquatech Amsterdam 2017 hits all the right marks

With 928 exhibitors, the show sold out 6 months in advance. An all-time high. This was matched by a record number in visitor attendance, reaching 20,490 on closing day. ‘We are very proud of the 2017 show as part of the wider Amsterdam International Water Week which was also a great success,’ says Annette Bos, Director Water at RAI Amsterdam. ‘We thank all our partners and advisors who helped us by lending an ear to the market and anticipate the needs of water professionals around the world.’

The show brought together industry authorities, key market leaders, creators, government and country delegations and last but not least, business. The result was an inspiring exchange with a common goal: a more sustainable future and growing business in water.

Aquatech Amsterdam returns in 2019 with a change of halls to add more space to accommodate popular demand, and to include Floodex Europe, which will provide a dedicated focus on the crucial theme of flooding. Aquatech 2019 will be held on 5-8 November 2019.
