The water sector isn't just talking about the future anymore. We’re actively building it. Next month, SWAN is headed to Singapore International Water Week (SIWW). We're hosting two massive workshops packed with real-world utility insights, interactive roundtables, and global networking. If you want to know exactly how leading utilities are scaling smarter water systems, here is where you need to be: June 15: SWAN India Alliance Workshop (In partnership with Frost & Sullivan) focused on smart metering, advanced leak detection, and using real-time data to slash Non-Revenue Water (NRW) while building true climate resilience. June 18: SWAN APAC Workshop (Sponsored by Autodesk) focused on digital transformation, workforce readiness, and navigating new financing models. No theoretical fluff. Just utility-led discussions and proven strategies from leaders who are on the ground making it happen.

Africa’s smart water future is already being shaped through collaboration, innovation, and practical action on the ground. This conversation with Siya Bashe (City of Cape Town) explores what it will take to future-proof water services across Africa. Drawing on lessons from Cape Town’s journey after the 2015–2018 drought, She shares why collaboration between utilities, investors, development banks, and technology partners is essential for scaling smart water solutions that are practical, resilient, and built for local realities. The interview also highlights a major shift happening across the sector which is that utilities are moving beyond conversations about why digital transformation matters and focusing on how to implement and scale it effectively. You’ll also see her perspective on the growing momentum behind the SWAN Africa Alliance, the importance of knowledge sharing across the continent, and why the next generation of water leaders will play a critical role in shaping Africa’s smart water future.

What happens when you bring utilities and digital leaders together without the usual slide decks? The SWAN Amsterdam UnConference proved how powerful collaborative conversations can be. From “big brain voting” and challenge mapping to solution prototyping, the conversations focused on how we can better connect data, people, and decision-making across the water sector. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed ideas, insights, and real-world experiences, and to Arup for hosting us.
