Welcome letter

Dear visitor,

On behalf of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), it is
my great pleasure to welcome you to the third Taiwan International Water Week
(TIWW), Taiwan’s only exhibition tailored to the water industry.

As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainable development
goals (SDGs) have become a global industry trend, TIWW 2022 highlights water
sustainability, showcasing a number of turnkey solutions for reclaimed water and
treatment, plant equipment applications, and other innovative technologies, rep-
resenting total solutions for the water industry from source to tap.
Co-organized by the Water Resources Agency (WRA) for the Ministry of Eco-
nomic Affairs (MOEA) in Taiwan and supported by main industry associations,
TIWW 2022 gathers heavyweights from the government and the global water in-
dustry, including leading enterprises and media from the U.S., France, U.K., the
Netherlands, Malaysia, and India.

According to a UN report, global water resources will decrease by 40% within
ten years, while demand for water is estimated to increase up to 50% by 2040.
Water will therefore be regarded as “blue gold” in the 21st century.

In response to this, there is an urgency to develop new water resources and
maximize the efficiency of current ones. TIWW 2022 emphasizes water reuse
and recycling, as well as the use of smart water applications and technology. At
the same time, the concurrent 3-day international forum themed “innovative wa-
ter strategy under green sustainability” will bring together 55 professionals from
across the globe to share innovative ideas, discuss comprehensive water strat-
egy, and foster cross-border cooperation.

Various activities, including online sourcing meetings, TIWW Tech Talk, and new
product launches, will also be held during the exhibition, allowing visitors to find
global trends, strategic partners, and business opportunities.

I’d like to express my best wishes to all participants in TIWW 2022. Let us work
together to boost the water industry and achieve ongoing water sustainability for
the future.

Yours sincerely,

Emilia Shih
