Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Andrew 
Wheeler, will be one of the leaders attending

WATEC 2019 is being held in conjunction with the Israel Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs, Ministry of the Economy, The Israel Export and International 
Cooperation Institute and other organizations 

WATEC 2019 will be held on November 18-21, 2019 at the InterContinental David 
Tel Aviv Hotel, with hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of participants from 
around the world. 

Israel currently exports approximately $2.4 billion in technology and equipment 
annually, and this figure is climbing.

This year, the conference will take a different track and will have a different 
format than in the past, ensuring that it reflects all fields and activity. As 
in past years, this year there will also be an exhibition that will showcase 
the activity of the various companies and the latest developments, but at the 
same time, roundtables will be held on a variety of issues. Among the issues to 
be examined at the conference: smart water, management of the water economy, 
handling sewage, data and the politics of water resources.   
   
Participants in this year's conference include: 

- Andrew Wheeler - Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection 
Agency 
- Mina Guli - Water entrepreneur and water advocate 
- Prof. Jay Famiglietti - Hydrologist and Director, Global Institute for Water 
Security 
- Tracy Minamide - Chief Operating Officer, LA Sanitation 
- Richard Harasick - Head of the Water System, LADWP
  
Co-chairmen Oren Blonder of Dorot and Arie Goldfarb of Kando said, "The fact 
that the leaders of the water industry are coming to Israel demonstrates the 
status Israel holds in the field. Our range of activity, from desalination to 
contamination monitoring and treatment - proves that the potential here is only 
beginning to emerge. The connection between the Start-Up Nation, the knowledge 
that has accrued over the years in the water industry, the ethos of making the 
desert bloom and the global water crisis - have led to initiatives and 
developments that put Israel on the map." 

This year, the exhibition will be divided into three different parts: an area, 
where over 160 manufacturers, companies and other organizations will showcase 
their products and services, a networking area, and WATEC sightseeing.
