Driving global water collaboration from Singapore: Nijhuis Saur Industries at SIWW 2026

In Singapore, one of the world’s leading hubs for water innovation, the global water community gathers with a shared purpose: to rethink how water is managed, valued and sustained. At the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW), from 15 to 18 of June 2026, this ambition came to life through dialogue, collaboration and innovation. Among the key contributors, Saur and Nijhuis Saur Industries actively engaged alongside utilities, industries, policymakers and technology leaders, all working together to address one of the defining challenges of our time.

These exchanges reflected a clear consensus: the transition towards more resilient and circular water systems must accelerate, to secure water resources for future generations.

From innovation to impact: sharing expertise on the global stage

Saur actively contributed to the conference program through multiple sessions and expert interventions.
A key highlight was the participation of Patrick Blethon, Executive chairman of Saur group, in the Titans of Industry session, gathering global water leaders.
His message was clear: in water, transformation never pauses, it happens while delivering an essential service every day.
He emphasized that resilience is built through execution, aligning people, operations and technology over time, and that leadership remains the key to turning innovation into tangible results.
"The companies that will succeed are not the ones that move fastest on technology, but the ones that build the strongest teams and help them evolve faster than the world around them. "
