Water and sanitation preparedness in focus – Welcome to Forum26
For some time now, the water sector has been facing a new reality. Climate change, digitalization, urbanization and a changing security situation are some of the factors that are making systems more complex, more vulnerable and more dependent on each other. To meet future challenges, the Water Industry invites you to Forum26, a common meeting place where we together strengthen Sweden's water supply and preparedness.
At Forum26 you will participate in an exercise where the public and private sectors meet in realistic scenarios. We bring together leading experts, operational actors and strategic decision-makers to test how decisions are made, how responsibility is taken and how the interaction works when it really matters. During the day you will have the opportunity to reflect on your own role and how your organization can contribute to strengthening Sweden's water and sanitation preparedness together.
Welcome to Forum26 on November 19, 2026. More information to come!
