Singapore International Water Week Pte Ltd

What Singapore International Water Week Pte Ltd does

Singapore International Water Week Pte Ltd (SIWW) is a Singapore-incorporated private company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency, that operates the Singapore International Water Week — a biennial global platform for sharing and co-creating innovative water, coastal, and flood solutions. Founded in 2008 as part of the Singapore Government's strategic programme to grow the water industry, the company targets governments and water agencies, municipal and industrial water utilities, water-technology vendors, engineering and consulting firms, and academia. The flagship biennial event (with intermediate SIWW Spotlight editions) aggregates the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize, Leadership Roundtables and Summits, a Water Convention, a Water Expo, TechXchange, Young Water Leaders Programme, and Technical Site Visits to Singapore's water infrastructure, and is staged at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands with co-location alongside World Cities Summit and CleanEnviro Summit Singapore.

The company's product surface combines a physical biennial event with a digital content layer. The proprietary SIWW+ platform functions as an open-source, free online repository hosting SIWW and industry reports, articles, videos, and session recordings across climate resilience, digital water, net zero, resource circularity, and sustainability. Other product components include a Virtual Expo (deployed during COVID-era SIWW Online 2020 and SIWW2021 Online editions), a Water Expo co-organized with Messe München under a long-term partnership announced in 2022, the TechXchange innovation showcase, and a mobile app for event attendees.

Revenue is generated through exhibitor booth fees at the Water Expo, multi-tier sponsorship packages (Founding, Platinum, Gold, Corporate, Thematic, Strategic Partner), delegate registration for the Water Convention and summits, and advertising and marketing services for sponsors and partners. Trade Visitor Passes are complimentary, while sponsorship pricing is quote-based and contracted on multi-year cycles. The go-to-market is event-driven, reaching customers through event attendance, sponsorships, exhibitor programs, and the SIWW+ digital platform, supported by LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and email newsletter marketing channels.
