The World Hydropower Congress brings together leading decision-makers, innovators and experts from industry, government, finance, civil society and academia. Knowledge sharing, capacity building and stakeholder dialogue are at the heart of this high-level biennial event which is organised by the International Hydropower Association (IHA) and supported by more than 40 partner organisations.
The 2021 World Hydropower Congress will launch with online events across multiple timezones, culminating in a summit in Costa Rica on 23-24 September. The event will be hosted by the Government of Costa Rica and Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE). Read more.
Each World Hydropower Congress provides a global stage for the birth of new partnerships and cross-sectoral initiatives, and the showcasing of excellence across the sector. The event provides an unparalleled opportunity to share experiences, guide policies and develop strategies to strengthen the sector’s performance and support sustainable development. Focus sessions and workshops are co-convened with knowledge partners that bring a depth of understanding to each topic.
