The Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2026 is set to convene from 15 to 18 June at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, bringing together over 2,000 global leaders and experts to tackle pressing urban water and climate challenges. This biennial event, now in its 11th edition, will address issues such as ageing water systems, rising energy costs, and extreme flooding exacerbated by climate change and urbanisation.
SIWW2026 will focus on three key themes: municipal water solutions, coastal and flood resilience, and industrial water solutions. The event will feature more than 80 sessions, including high-level panels, roundtables, and workshops. Notably, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister will open the event, followed by the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize 2026 Award Ceremony.
The event will also host a Ministerial Plenary, where Singapore’s Minister for Sustainability and the Environment will join international counterparts to discuss advancing the water and climate agenda. Highlights include the Water Leaders Summit and the Water Expo, which will feature over 500 international exhibitors.
Participants will include representatives from 55 utilities and 30 cities worldwide, as well as senior leaders from organisations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the World Bank Group. SIWW2026 aims to foster collaboration and innovation in water management, supporting Singapore’s strategic goals for sustainability and climate resilience.
