The GPID wants to advance the technologies and practices of water desalination to address global water scarcity and improve the lives of people around the world.
In light of the success of the 2023 edition, GPID will also contdurate a global roadshow on water desalination in 2024: a series of events held in major innovation centers, research centers, and universities around the world. These events are designed to discuss the latest developments in water desalination technology and to present GPID.
