“Danish Export – Water Tech goes to Stockholm”

Stockholm Vatten is the biggest water infrastructure operater in Sweden, and have both grand plans and investments in store until 2030. We will visit the biggest WWTP in Sweden, and the biggest WS in Stockholm. Stockholm Vatten is both planning to make the city smart with meters etc, but also to modernize their complete physical infrastructure. We will also visit and meet the biggest water equipment and advisors on the Swedish market (Vattenindustrin, ed.) for an entire day to learn about the most important water topics in Sweden. Envidan has already appointed Sweden as one of their most important markets outside DK, and many are following their example.

This delegation replaces the VA Mässen, which was cancelled this year by the organizers. Vatten 2025 is still reserved and being planned as an exhibition in Gothenburg. The Swedish water infrastructure etc are about a decade+ behind DK, and are requesting many of the same solutions, but are also demanding Swedish references.

The market and opportunities

Svenskt Vatten estimates the investment need in the water sector to be SEK 23 billion annually with an investment backlog of SEK 7 billion. In addition, water, which until now has been considered an infinite resource, is increasingly considered a scarce resource. Sweden has experienced record high energy prices throughout the country. Energy and water efficiency in TCO, hence quickly becomes profitable and is absolutely necessary to avoid power and supply shortages. Sweden also has a big focus on the global goals agenda and aims to be 100% on renewable energy by 2040 and be CO2 neutral by 2045. 

Swedish industry is at the forefront of the climate agenda, but thus faces major challenges with rising prices for water, electricity, and ambitious climate and environmental requirements.
