HYDRO 2018, which will take place in the stunning city of Gdansk, on Poland’s Baltic coast, in October next year. The event is strongly supported by the local utility Energa, as well as the Polish Hydropower Association, the Insititute of Fluid Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and the Polish Association for Small Hydropower Development. This is likely to be the most international gathering of the year specifically for the hydropower profession, with representatives from around 80 countries participating to exchange experience on current challenges and recent achievements.

The past years have seen an upsurge of activity in the field of hydropower development, particularly in the less developed countries, and it is clear that international collaboration has played a major role in this. Hence our sub-theme for HYDRO 2018 is ‘Progress through Partnerships’.
Topics specifically on that theme will include: cross border collaboration; technology transfer and training; private sector investment; and, the role of regional organizations and power pools.
As usual, the delegations present will represent nations at different stages of hydropower development, including the pioneering countries who developed major schemes several decades ago, those who have major programmes under development now, and those with large amounts of unexploited potential, and development plans for the near future.
An exchange between these delegations will lead to constructive discussions, new business partnerships, and progress in advancing hydro development.
