Africa’s omnipresent water crisis creates ongoing business opportunities for the water technology industry, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“The problem is not a lack of rain, but a lack of rain management – poorly exploited catchment areas, not enough storage dams and insufficient investment in water infrastructure by regional governments,” says John Thomson of Exhibition Management Services, organisers of the Watertec Africa Expo. “Watertec Africa is the perfect platform for the global water industry and stakeholders to explore solutions and opportunities in the African water sector.” Watertec is Africa’s leading industrial trade exhibition of equipment and services across the entire water industry spectrum. It’s a hugely popular component of The SA Industry & Technology Fair (INDUTEC), a composite of 12 industrial shows targeting the manufacturing, engineering, water, petrochemical, plastics, energy efficiency, waste and recycling sectors. Watertec Africa takes place at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, from the 20-22 May 2015.Urban Africa needs water
“Africa is the fastest urbanising continent on the planet; demand for water and sanitation is quickly outstripping its provision, due to backlogs in water infrastructure investment,” continues Thomson.“The Watertec Africa expo is an excellent springboard into Africa for water industry players to explore new markets, customers and business opportunities, like the Grand Renaissance Dam project in North Africa.”
