Introduction at IUVA World Congress
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.
Promoting partnership
Since the foundation of the UV Alliance, one question has been raised: what is the added value compared to the existing International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA)? To address this, Rob introduced the new foundation on Tuesday morning, September 9, to a packed room of UV experts from around the world.
“We are not against the IUVA. We need the IUVA to bring fundamental and practical research to the market. Our focus is on the end-user.”
Impactful technology
Members of the UV Alliance believe strongly in the potential of UV and the impact it can create. But to be truly impactful, more collaboration is needed. A strong, consistent UV story helps achieve this.
The alliance focuses on sharing expertise and case studies, taking on joint projects, and exchanging UV knowledge specifically for end-users. It also aims to provide training programs for future water professionals and decision-makers.
