Eight UK water companies have come together to form ‘The UK Pavilion’, a collaboration to help represent the UK’s water industry at the International Water Association (IWA) World Water Congress & Exhibition in Toronto, Canada between 11th-15th August. 

Alongside sponsors including Arup, AtkinsRéalis, Capgemini, Ross Engineering, RSE, WRC, Scottish Government and Morrison Construction the water companies – Anglian Water, British Water, Northumbrian Water Group, Scottish Water, Severn Trent, South West Water, United Utilities, Wessex Water and Yorkshire Water – will be highlighting issues at the forefront of the water sector’s agendas such as climate change adaptation, nature recovery and enabling resilient futures. 

With over 10,000 leading water professionals and companies expected during the five day event, the water companies will be featuring keynote speeches, panel discussions, case study demos and hosting multiple networking events and receptions to showcase UK innovation, providing a stage and opportunity to learn from others. 

This is the start of a collaboration that will lead us to the 2026 World Water Congress & Exhibition in Glasgow, Scotland. Dr Marie Whaley, Senior Vice President, International Water Association said “We are thrilled to be bringing our flagship event to the SEC Glasgow in 2026 and are confident Glasgow provides the ideal backdrop to foster relationships and drive discussions which support the global community in transitioning to sustainable water solutions that are robust and flexible in the face of global change pressures.
