SAP EVN Water Event
Executive Value Network for Water and Waste Water

November 16-17, 2022

Paris, France

Join us at our Executive Value Network for Water and Waste Water
Leverage water innovations and thrive in the new digital economy
 
During the Executive Value Network collaboration is championed and innovation comes to life. Be part of the conversation and take on the greatest challenges together.
The climate change is impacting seriously our daily life and our economy. The last summer event faced by many countries like Belgium, Germany, Netherland, France forced governments to bring water management on top of their agenda. Water companies can play a major role to define how to better manage water, what legislation to be adapted, how to prevent against water scarcity and drive a modernization of the water infrastructure and operations.
The Executive Value Network (EVN) is an international knowledge sharing oriented forum for those interested in digital transformation use cases of Water and Waste Water companies. During this event you learn from use cases how to move to more efficient processes while embracing new relevant technology. Impactful and interactive format with keynotes, interviews, panels, case studies and fireside chats, key takeaways at Executive Value Network will be frequent, engaging, and digestible.
But above all, it will facilitate time again for a cosy chat among and business colleagues and some old friends. These are good reasons for us to share our plan for the 4th Water Executive Value Network hosted by SUEZ with a close collaboration from Capgemini, Farys, Pidpa, De Watergroep  and SAP.
