EAW Global Aqua Expo 2027

EAW Global Aqua Expo 2027 is a three-day water industry exhibition and business networking platform held in Hyderabad, Telangana, designed to connect South India's rapidly expanding water sector with global technology providers, equipment manufacturers, and business opportunities.

What it is

• A large-format expo and conference focused on the water industry - treatment, distribution, reuse, and infrastructure.
• A meeting point for technology suppliers, engineering firms, utilities, and institutional buyers.

Who it's for

• Water treatment and purification technology companies
• Infrastructure, EPC, and engineering firms
• Municipal bodies, utilities, and government water agencies
• Industrial water users across manufacturing, pharma, food processing, and energy
• Investors and business development teams tracking India's water and climate-tech opportunity
• Startups working on water quality monitoring, leak detection, desalination, and smart water management

What to expect

• An exhibition floor featuring global and Indian water technology vendors
• Business matchmaking and B2B networking sessions
• Conference tracks on water management, reuse, and infrastructure development
• Delegations and buyer-seller meetings aimed at cross-border technology transfer

Organiser context The event is organised by the Earth Water Foundation, an entity focused on water-sector development and industry convening in India. The EAW Global Aqua Expo series is positioned as a recurring platform for the Indian water industry, with the 2027 Hyderabad edition explicitly framed around linking South India's growing water market with international technology and business partners.

Why it matters for the Indian startup ecosystem Water is one of India's most pressing infrastructure and climate challenges, and it sits squarely within the climate-tech and deeptech investment themes that Indian founders and VCs are actively tracking. Events like this create direct access to enterprise and government buyers - a critical channel for early-stage water-tech startups that often struggle to reach institutional customers. Founders in adjacent areas such as IoT sensors, industrial automation, membranes and materials, and data analytics for utilities will find relevant partners and customers here.
