About the project
The Australian water industry has remarkable capability and experience in water policy development and implementation, asset management, construction and project management, design and manufacture of control systems, and monitoring technologies, education and research capability.

- providing global business networking opportunities
- promoting Australian water industry capability
- promoting international business linkages and consortium opportunities
- coordinating inbound and outbound trade missions
