[Seminar] Current Status and Specific Examples of "Water Business" in Japan and Abroad

The arrival of a significant business opportunity due to the integration of water administration: the unification of water supply and sewage systems, the broadening of water administration, public-private partnerships, and technological development.

We will hold a seminar on "The Current State of Domestic and International Water Business and Specific Examples." The overseas water business is expected to present a significant business opportunity, exceeding 150 trillion yen by 2050 due to population growth and industrial advancement, particularly in areas such as water supply and sewage services. The market for water treatment equipment is anticipated to grow at an average annual rate of 6%. On the other hand, the domestic water business market is facing a challenging situation with declining revenue from water fees due to population decrease and advancements in water-saving devices. However, a major business opportunity has arisen. For the past 63 years, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has overseen the water supply business, but starting in April of this year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will take over this role, leading to the integration of water administration, including water resource management, water rights, river administration, and national resilience related to water. The integration of water supply and sewage services, the broadening of water administration, public-private partnerships, and technological development represent significant upcoming business opportunities. This will be explained in detail based on specific examples. ■ Date and Time: August 30 (Friday) 13:30-15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Speaker: Kazunobu Yoshimura, Representative of Global Water Japan UN Technical Advisor Chair of the Water Security Strategy Organization and Technology Promotion Committee *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
