WATEC Israel
Dear Participants,Following the success of past WATEC events, it is my honor and pleasure to invite you to participate in WATEC Israel 2013.
Due to its continuous necessity supported by entrepreneurial culture, Israel has become a Water Solutions Hub.
One of the most significant challenges in the global arena is to lower the pressure on natural water resources, among other resources, due to the rapid growth of population. It is clear today that technologies can serve as a key to a much more efficient exploitation of natural resources (Water, Soil, Energy & Materials).
New technologies and smart solutions are estimated to contribute almost two-thirds of the additional quantities of water needed in the next 30 years.
Bringing together Israeli & international business executives, political decisions makers and leading researches, WATEC 2013 will be ashowcase for the most advanced technologies and solutions from around the world. I am confident that you will benefit from the exciting range of topics and the technological & business solutions that will be presented in the event.
Sincerely,Shimon TalChairman, WATEC Israel 2013
