The Water Business Forum of the Dubai 2020 Wrold Expo focused on water management, including the reduction and avoidance of risks related to water and water safety. The participants exchanged views on river basin management, innovative water management, as well as water-related responsibilities of the urban and rural development.

During the conversation Mr Kovács emphasized the role of the Partnership in presenting Hungarian knowledge about water management. He underlined the importance of recognizing the value of water when we talk about the circular economy as well. And finally he reminded about the role of water users' cooperation (scientific, professional, industry, agriculture, public) in shaping a water-conscious society and the importance of a water value approach in innovation.
