Arthur Valkieser, our Vice-president for Implementation sets the scene of the 2nd & last session of the official #WIE2026 programme The bottleneck is not #technological #innovation. It's the lack of systems thinking. National governments have a key role 2 play in driving change.

➡️The paradigm shift relies on #circular #approaches. How much water is industry using VS how much it should be using to maintain water flows. ✨️The success of the water-smart industrial alliance will depend on concrete #investments, successful deployment & measurable results.

💬“The thinking that creates the problem cannot solve it.” 🔶️At his speech,Friedrich Barth calls for a shift in how we think about water. Europe excels in water research, but we’re still too slow to bring innovation to market. ➡️It’s time to rethink our approach around water!

💦"Water quality really matters!We need to make sure we ensure good water services.We have the public backing. Now we need to put actions into place! 💡Innovation is key to making resilient water services a reality for all" highlights Minister @COSullivanTD at #WIE2026 opening.
