ACCADUEO, international water exhibition to be held at BolognaFiere on 17-19 October 2018, besides a trade show dedicated to technologies, treatments, distribution and sustainability, is an important opportunity for information and training for sector operators.
The show will be a place of encounter for institutions, regulators, companies, and utilities to point out deficiencies in the system and find the bases for developing new resources and providing high-quality service. Above all, it focuses on the actions, strategies, and technologies tested in the renewal of infrastructure, the development of water resources, and protection of the environment, through the presentation of national and international case studies and excellence in technology.
From this viewpoint, the keys to the information and training programs of ACCADUEO will be innovation, digitization, network maintenance and operation, and the best practices of industry and utilities.
