New Zealand’s water infrastructure is under growing pressure from climate change, ageing systems, and extreme weather events. Ensuring safe drinking water, reliable wastewater management, and resilient infrastructure requires fresh thinking and innovative solutions.

 

The Resilient Waters Conference, hosted by the German–New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (GNZCC), brought together German innovators and New Zealand stakeholders for a high-level forum dedicated to future-proofing New Zealand’s water systems.
 

At this conference, a delegation of German companies presented cutting-edge technologies and intelligent system solutions designed to improve water resilience in the face of climate change. The programme featured expert presentations, sector-specific insights, and networking opportunities with a professional audience from water utilities, engineering firms, city councils, and decision-making bodies.
