The Business Forums offer a spread of business networking, partnership formation and deal-making opportunities in key water markets.  Business Forums 2009 attracted close to 2000 delegates eager to discover the immense opportunities across eight  market centric business forums covering Australia, China, Europe, India, Japan, Middle East & North Africa, North America, and Southeast Asia.  A special addition for 2009 was the forum on “Financing for Water Infrastructure & Technologies” which addressed how the credit crisis has affected the financing of water projects and what business opportunities could emerge from the changing financial landscape.  Business forum 2010 will provide more high level exchanges and enriching insights from private and public sector industry players on upcoming water projects, development hot spots, industry trends and policies.
