WEFTEC has allowed me to interact with companies and agents that seek a common objective to improve the control and management processes in the sustainable use of our most precious resource, water. The importance of participating in this event is to learn about new technologies that the world offers and that allow us to manage the integral water cycle.

We were very impressed with the work and dedication of the U.S. Commercial Service before and during WEFTEC 2023. The activities prepared for the Brazilian delegation were very relevant for our company, especially the meeting with directors from WEF and the workshop “Design and Implementation of Membrane Bioreactors in Water Recycling.
