Event Description
SMAGUA 2027: The Global Hub for Water Innovation in Zaragoza
Scheduled for February 16-18, 2027, SMAGUA returns to the vibrant city of Zaragoza, Spain, reaffirming its position as the premier international trade fair dedicated to the water cycle and environmental technologies. As the leading event of its kind in the Iberian Peninsula and a key global player, SMAGUA 2027 promises to be an essential gathering point for professionals, policymakers, researchers, and businesses committed to sustainable water management and environmental stewardship.
Core Focus: The Entire Water Cycle & Beyond
SMAGUA 2027 will comprehensively cover the entire spectrum of the water cycle, from sourcing to treatment, distribution, use, and final return to the environment. The event will feature distinct thematic pillars:
1. Water Treatment & Management: Cutting-edge technologies for drinking water production and purification, wastewater treatment (municipal and industrial), sludge management, water reuse/recycling, and desalination solutions. Innovations in efficiency, resource recovery (energy, nutrients), and resilience will be central.
2. Infrastructure & Networks: Advanced solutions for water supply networks (leak detection, smart metering, rehabilitation), sewer systems (separation, stormwater management), pumping stations, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Focus on digitalization (SCADA, GIS, AI) and sustainable materials.
3. Environment & Sustainability: Technologies for environmental protection, including soil remediation, air quality monitoring, waste management, renewable energy integration in water processes, and solutions aligned with circular economy principles and climate change adaptation strategies.
4. Irrigation & Efficient Use: State-of-the-art irrigation technologies (precision agriculture, drip systems), water efficiency solutions for agriculture, industry, and urban areas, and smart water management for agriculture.
A Platform for Innovation, Business & Knowledge
Beyond the extensive exhibition of products and services, SMAGUA 2027 offers a rich program of activities designed to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange:
Technical Seminars & Conferences: High-level forums featuring industry experts, researchers, and policymakers discussing the latest trends, regulations, challenges (like drought resilience, pollution control), and breakthrough technologies. Topics will likely include digital twins, AI in water management, green hydrogen production using water tech, and the future of urban water cycles.
Networking Opportunities: Unparalleled chances to connect with potential clients, suppliers, partners, and investors from over 60 countries. The event facilitates B2B meetings, fostering international business development.
Live Demonstrations & Showcases: Practical demonstrations of equipment and technologies in action, providing tangible insights into performance and application.
Awards & Recognition: Prestigious competitions highlighting the most innovative and sustainable projects and products in the sector.
Why Zaragoza & Why 2027?
Zaragoza offers excellent logistics, modern exhibition facilities (Feria de Zaragoza), and a strong connection to water technology. Hosting SMAGUA in February 2027 positions the event strategically, allowing attendees to plan for the year ahead and address pressing global water challenges. As the world grapples with increasing water stress, pollution, and the need for climate resilience, SMAGUA 2027 stands as a critical platform to showcase transformative solutions, drive industry collaboration, and accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and water-secure future. It is the definitive event for anyone shaping the future of water and the environment.
