At IFAT 2026, the UV Alliance launched the UV Knowledge Hub. To introduce the purpose behind this initiative, the UV Alliance hosted a panel session at the Netherlands Pavilion, bringing together industry experts to discuss the future of UV technology in water treatment and the importance of international cooperation.
Together we can make UV technology more visible and accessible to end-users. That was the key message delivered by Rob van Esch on behalf of the UV Alliance during his presentation at the IUVA World Congress in Lisbon.
