Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 aims for an innovative and sustainable economy, prioritizing water security. Through water-efficient technologies, innovation, and local talent development, the country is a frontrunner in the global water industry.

Despite its arid climate and limited groundwater reserves, Saudi Arabia produces 20°. of the world’s desalinated water supply. With water scarcity being a global and pressing concern, strategic investments, innovation, global partnerships, and privatization efforts are imperative to further revolutionize the water sector.

At the Saudi Water Convention, attendees will come together to drive change and accelerate innovation across the water industry. This convention not only aligns with Saudi Arabia's water initiatives but also highlights the worldwide significance of water as a pivotal resource for global sustainability.
