【WTE 2026 Promotes Water Technology Development】

Water is the source of life, the foundation of production, and the basis of ecology. With the rapid growth of the world's population and socio-economic development, water resource issues have become increasingly prominent. Currently, a significant portion of the global population resides in water-scarce regions, with many unable to access clean drinking water. Additionally, the intensification of global climate change has led to frequent extreme weather events such as floods and droughts, posing a severe challenge to global water security. In response, the United Nations has called on countries and regions worldwide to take action, share advanced development concepts and technological achievements in the water sector, and implement comprehensive management measures that are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and ecologically sustainable to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals related to water.

To address the global water security challenges we all face, China adheres to the new development philosophy of innovation, coordination, green development, openness, and shared benefits, adhering to the water management philosophy of “water conservation first, spatial balance, systematic governance, and dual-pronged efforts,” coordinating water disaster prevention and control, water resource conservation, water ecological protection and restoration, and water environment governance. With only 6% of the world's freshwater resources, China has ensured water supply for nearly 20% of the global population, making significant contributions to achieving the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind.

To promote international exchange in the water industry, strengthen technological innovation and cooperation, and advance high-quality development in the water sector, the 2026 Hongwei • 8th Wuhan International Water Technology Expo (WTE 2026) will be held from March 19-21, 2026, at the Wuhan International Expo Center. We cordially invite enterprises, experts, and scholars from the global water industry to participate in the exhibition and conference, jointly explore and share new ideas, technologies, and applications in the water sector, and contribute to a vibrant and diverse water industry event for the world.
