Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) and hosted by the Saudi Water Authority, the IDRA World Congress 2026 in Riyadh will convene global leaders, innovators, and decision-makers under the theme Driving Global Water Sustainability Through Innovation.
The Congress focuses on accelerating the systems, regulations, technologies, and financing solutions needed to secure reliable, low-carbon, resilient water supplies for a rapidly changing world.
A World Congress like no other
With knowledge sharing across five days of Technical and Thematic programs, and, Business Development and Networking across robust exhibitions and leadership streams, the IDRA World Congress 2026 will examine how advanced desalination, scaling water reuse, integrated water systems, and digital intelligence contribute to national, regional and global resilience; and how these capabilities support broader development priorities, including economic growth, industrial competitiveness, agricultural stability, and community wellbeing.
Supporting Water for Prosperity
In this context, as IDRA is a partner with UN Water, water for security becomes a practical outcome of innovative water policy, sustainable infrastructure, and sound investment, not an abstract aspiration.
