Water is essential in almost all industrial processes, from food processing to chemical and energy production. However, where water was once taken for granted, it is now increasingly clear that it is a scarce resource. This is also evident in the northern Netherlands, where the pressure on drinking water supply is rising, groundwater levels are dropping due to drought, and European water quality targets are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve.
For industrial (large-scale) users, these challenges are becoming ever more pressing. How can you ensure smarter water use, more sustainable processes, and a future-proof strategy? And how do you navigate constantly evolving legislation and regulations?
To address these questions, NOM and Water Alliance invite you to a special event for industrial large-scale users on February 11, 2025. Discover what the future of water means for your business and gain the opportunity to share knowledge and solutions with experts and other companies.
Why you should attend:
Inspiration: Discover practical examples of innovative water management solutions.
Networking: Connect with other industrial large-scale users and share experiences.
Knowledge: Learn from experts about trends, challenges, and opportunities in industrial water use.
Practical solutions: Address specific challenges during interactive workshops.
