​💧 Israel-Essen WaterTech Innovation Forum: Smart & Sustainable Water Management

​Join us online for an exclusive look at cutting-edge Israeli water technology designed to solve pressing infrastructure, security, and operational challenges across North Rhine-Westphalia and Europe.

​Co-hosted by TradeIL Germany, Essen Business, and the Israel Export Institute, this forum connects German industry leaders, municipal utilities, and water boards directly with field-tested Israeli innovators.

​📌 Why Attend?

​The European water sector faces unprecedented demands—from strict NIS-2 / KRITIS OT-cybersecurity compliance to real-time microbial monitoring, non-revenue water reduction, and chemical-free treatment.
