Water Cycle & Blue Economy

Continuing the commitment it has been pursuing for years, Ecomondo enhances the water resource in an increasingly in-depth and vertical way, both in terms of the industries involved and the content, with two initiatives:

>> WATER CYCLE | Ecomondo Water
>> BLUE ECONOMY

The tour route is concentrated in the East area of the fairgrounds: from the expansion of the area with two halls that meet the growing need for space by these companies.

DISCOVER THE FLOOR PLAN



Today, the strengthening and completion of water infrastructures have become increasingly urgent, both for the implementation of European Unione directives and to cope with emergencies induced by climate change.
The event chooses to touch on all topics related to the world of water: water saving, monitoring, sludge purification, plant and civil, catchment, digitization, maritime economy, depollution and regeneration of the hydrosphere, desalination, port and coastal regeneration, which also find ample space in a rich conference schedule.

ALL THE EVENTS ABOUT WATER CYCLE & BLUE ECONOMY IN 2024

WATER CYCLE

At Ecomondo, the theme of the sustainable use of water resources within the urban and industrial cycle is embodied in Ecomondo Water, the section dedicated to all phases of the integrated water service and water cycle, from saving, monitoring, purification to circular reuse in the agricultural, industrial and civil sectors.

Thanks to the partnership with UTILITALIA, Ecomondo Water fosters networking between national and international utilities and technology producers.

WHO EXHIBIT

Ecomondo Water is a point of reference for companies, public administrations and consortia whose activities are focused on water in all its aspects. The following activities will be presented at the show:

BLUE ECONOMY

With a view to protecting and restoring ecosystems, it is important to talk about, exhibit and study best practices and projects undertaken in relation to the Blue Economy. The Blue Economy encompasses all industries and economic sectors related to oceans, seas and coasts. It is an economic sector that at European level, generates around EUR 665 billion in revenues and creates almost 4.5 million jobs, while in Italy it provides approximately EUR 50 billion annually and 800,000 jobs.

ASK FOR INFORMATION

Ecomondo, for several years now, has enhanced its calendar of events dedicated to the water cycle and, more generally, to the blue economy.

On the other hand, the European Commission, with the mission Restore our oceans and waters by 2030 is intervening to urge the rapid launch of a systemic approach to the depollution and regeneration of the basin's hydrosphere, under which a Lighthouse will facilitate the widespread adoption of the best existing technological solutions in order to be able to implement a 30-50% reduction of its current pollution by 2030.

In addition, Ecomondo has for years been disseminating practices and experiences related to the restoration of marine ecosystems and the Blue Economy, encouraging their transfer and reproducibility. The know-how acquired on environmental issues consete to strengthen a systemic approach to the various ongoing actions aimed at safeguarding and protecting this resource.
