Is the water industry making enough effort to listen to the voice of the customer? The question of whether the water sector is too conservative and risk-averse or if it’s just the market’s lack of understanding what utilities are looking for is hovering in this session.

The session empowers utility leaders to share their unsolved challenges with technology vendors who have the chance to get exposed to their customers’ needs. A first glimpse of potential solutions addressing the utilities’ needs will be presented.
