- Water Reuse (6.3)
- Water Efficiency (6.4)

Innovation Pavilion
This year the Innovation Pavilion celebrates its 10-year anniversary. Presented each year by WEF, BlueTech Research, and Imagine H2O, this pavilion has been the go-to destination for the most current and prominent water sector information.
True to its name, the Innovation Pavilion highlights the newest water sector trends, opportunities, technologies, and projects.
The pavilion will hold 25-minute sessions focused on this year’s themes, which are
- Distributed Infrastructure and Decentralized Solutions,
- Energizing the Innovation Environment,
- Impact of Innovation Over the Last Decade, and
- Intrapreneurship in Action.

Every year at WEFTEC, the Global Center features content from more than 12 countries, 5 continents, and more than 20 international trade delegations. Presentations should include topics of global relevance and be educational and informative.
The typical length of Global Center panel discussions and presentations is about 60 minutes, which include 45 to 50 minutes of presentations and case studies and 10 to 15 minutes of question and answer. (Shorter presentations, about 30 minutes, also will be considered based on the nature of the topic.)
