Internationalisation

EWI works closely with agencies such as IE Singapore and PUB to assist Singapore-based water companies to internationalise and to grow their business overseas. Promotional led initiatives such as overseas trade missions as well as profiling Singapore based companies at international fora help create business opportunities for the water industry.

To further strengthen Singapore’s profile as a global hydrohub, EWI and PUB launched the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW), an annual water event that brings together global water experts and showcases practical water technology and business solutions. SIWW consists of five pillar events, namely the Water Leaders’ Summit, Water Conference, Water Expo, Water Festival and the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize.

The Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize is a prestigious award for an individual or organisation to recognise outstanding contributions towards solving the world’s water problems, by applying innovative technologies or implementing policies and programmes which benefit humanity. Through the wide range of events and exchange sessions between key decision makers and water professionals organized under one umbrella event, EWI aims to develop SIWW as a premier event on the international water calendar.
