Water is a prime natural resource, a critical factor of production, and an essential element of sustainable development. It plays a pivotal role in each of the three pillars of sustainability—economic, social, and environmental—and is closely linked to nearly every Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).

Recognizing the need for a holistic approach to water management, CII’s Center of Excellence on Water—CII Water Institute (CII-WI)—engages with diverse stakeholders to enhance knowledge and awareness in the sector.

The Water Innovation Summit is one of CII-Water Institute’s flagship platforms, bringing together key stakeholders to deliberate on water challenges and share best practices for enhanced learning and collaboration.By convening industry leaders, policymakers, academia, and NGOs, the Summit serves as a vital forum for discussing scalable solutions, policy frameworks, and innovations in water management.

Currently in its 11th edition, the Water Innovation Summit has not only fostered meaningful dialogue but has also catalyzed collaboration, inspiring joint efforts toward sustainable water management.
