This year, the 19th IWA Leading Edge Conference for water and wastewater technologies will take place from June 24 – 28 at the world heritage site “Zeche Zollverein” in Essen. With more than 300 participants from over 36 countries, the conference is one of the largest and most important specialist events in the water and wastewater sector worldwide.  The aim of the conference is an international discourse and exchange on current developments, topics and innovations in the water and wastewater sector.

WTE Wassertechnik GmbH is proud to be a platinum sponsor of this conference, which is taking place this year with a motto “Closing the water cycle”, the first time and to support it with specialist contributions from our colleagues.

The conference is sponsored by the International Water Association (IWA) based in London. The IWA is the world’s largest network of companies, experts and institutions in the water industry from 140 countries. This year’s hosts are Ruhrverband, GELSENWASSER AG and Emschergenossenschaft/Lippeverband (EGLV).
