Join the transformation journey
The IWA Digital Water Summit is the leading platform showcasing how digitalisation is transforming the global water sector. Designed for water technology providers, utilities, regulators, and solution leaders, the Summit focuses on real-world applications, business impact, and industry-driven solutions.
In its fourth edition, the Summit brings together the key stakeholders shaping the future of water management, offering a space to exchange knowledge, demonstrate innovations, and explore actionable strategies. Participants will discover how digital tools, AI, big data, and smart monitoring are being applied today to improve operations, optimise networks, and drive efficiency across the sector.
This is not about theory — it’s about seeing digital transformation in action, learning from successful implementations, and connecting with the global water industry to drive business growth and collaboration.
The Digital Water Summit 2026 is hosted in partnership with Istanbul Technical University.
Water and wastewater utilities must embrace digital solutions
“Digital water is already here” is the clear message after interviewing utility executives and leading experts from around the globe. From big data solutions to advanced management of the distribution network to digital customer engagement programs, nearly all utilities we talked to have begun the digital transformation journey. While the transformation is not always easy, with ageing infrastructure, inadequate investment, changing climate and demographics, digital water is now seen not as an ‘option’ but as an ‘imperative.“
