The biennial event, aimed at generating business opportunities and fostering knowledge exchange, will combine an exhibition area with technical conferences and networking spaces. Over 60 companies and institutions will participate to showcase products and services related to water management and energy, covering areas such as solar and wind energy, self-consumption, storage, energy efficiency, water equipment, circular economy, and sustainable mobility.
During the presentation, counselor Miguel Hidalgo highlighted the fair's importance in "proposing different solutions, both in water and energy fields," emphasizing that "the energy-water union is fundamental, it is the future of these energies." Counselor Raúl García Brink stated that Canagua y Energía is "an opportunity to continue learning about innovative technologies."
The technical conferences will address topics such as energy storage in island systems, agrovoltaic energy, energy communities, and the potential of floating photovoltaics. On water-related matters, sessions will focus on cybersecurity of hydraulic infrastructure and water reuse. The Speaker’s Corner will host brief presentations of innovative solutions by about twenty companies.
The fair will feature a B2B meeting area to facilitate connections between companies and professional visitors, accessible via a digital platform at canagua.es.
