Aquatech Asia 2026 Debuts in Thailand to Tackle Water Crisis
Aquatech Asia 2026 will hold its first Thai edition in Bangkok from November 25-27, 2026, showcasing global water technologies to address Thailand's escalating flood and drought crises. Over 58 companies from 12 countries and 1,000-plus international visitors are expected at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The event includes a flagship seminar on shifting from flood response to long-term resilience, backed by Dutch and Thai organizers.
Amid widespread flooding and climate volatility affecting many parts of Thailand this year, the need for new technology and innovation in water management has become a critical priority for all sectors. Aquatech Asia 2026, an international water technology exhibition, will make its Thai debut from November 25-27, 2026 at Hall 1, G Floor, Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok. The event serves as a platform linking technology, knowledge, and international cooperation toward efficient and sustainable water management for Thailand and Southeast Asia.
Organized by RAI Amsterdam together with VNU Asia Pacific and supported by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Thailand, the exhibition aims to develop a water business platform connecting technology manufacturers, entrepreneurs, government agencies, industry associations, and global experts. Coverage spans industrial water management, drinking water systems, wastewater treatment, infrastructure, and smart water management.
Pre-registration interest is strong, with over 1,000 international visitors signed up as of mid-October 2026. Fifty-eight companies from 12 countries have confirmed participation, including international exhibitors such as Atlas Filtri (Italy), NX Filtration and Colubris Cleantech (Netherlands), ANGEL (China), and Danfoss High Pressure Pumps (Denmark), alongside Thai firms like BK Group, EBARA, Functional International (FTI), Dynamach Engineering, and Hach Thailand. Country pavilions from the Netherlands and South Korea will also feature.
Technologies on display fall into five main groups: water and wastewater treatment; flood and drought management; water infrastructure; residential and commercial building water systems; and smart water management — from point-of-use filtration and membrane technology to water reuse and digital monitoring.
A key highlight is the three-day seminar program, especially the November 26 flagship session "From Flood Risk to Flood Resilience," which seeks to shift the paradigm from reactive flood response to long-term prevention systems. The seminars gather experts from Thai and international government agencies, academia, and water organizations to exchange practical, applicable solutions.
