The event was held in the meeting room No. 3 in the Víctor Villegas auditorium. Click here to see the invitation for the event.

The conference was a continuation of the two previous ones celebrated in Valencia, 2009, and in Madrid, 2011, with the bringing together of organizations, research and government institutions from the water technologies sector as the main purpose. The main objective of the conference was to gather potential partners and through these collaborations, promote innovative projects that will hopefully result in long-term business relationships.

For this third meeting in Murcia one more objective was added: to familiarize the representatives of countries that attended the Mediterranean Water Forum- many of whom have similar problems to Spanish ones- of the available technological and managerial solutions regarding water scarcity.

The Minister of Agriculture and Water from the Government of Murcia led the opening ceremony which was divided into three parts:

(1) Institutional: Dutch authorities and the corresponding Spanish and Murcian authorities, as well as the PTEA presented strategies and priorities for the topic of water,
(2) Countries with similar environments to Spain’s: shared their experience, with the participation of Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Portugal,
(3) Representatives of specific projects: presented solutions to address the problem of water scarcity.
