Maccaferri was proud to participate in the 6th International Conference on Water Resources (ICWR 2025), held from 23–25 September 2025 at The Everly Hotel, Putrajaya. At the event, we showcased our innovative product solutions for riverbank protection and flood mitigation, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable water resource management.

The conference was officiated by YB Tuan Haji Akmal Nasrullah bin Mohd Nasir, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA). Organized by Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), with the support of The Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) and the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering Research (IAHR) Malaysia, ICWR 2025 served as a premier platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange.

A Global Gathering of Experts

This year’s ICWR brought together over 240 participants and featured more than 60 technical paper presentations from 14 countries. Attendees included policymakers, government agencies, corporate representatives, and members of the research community, all contributing to discussions on pressing global water challenges.

Driving Innovation in Water Resources

Themed “Embracing Change for a Resilient Future in Water Resources”, the conference emphasized the importance of forward-looking solutions in addressing today’s water challenges. Discussions centered on innovative water solutions, integrated ecosystem-based management, AI-driven smart water systems, climate adaptation, and strengthening water governance.

As part of this theme, Maccaferri presented our HELLOMAC® Hydro system, an early warning monitoring solution designed to enhance the safety and resilience of bridges. By providing real-time data and alerts, HELLOMAC® Hydro supports proactive decision-making in flood-prone areas, aligning with the conference’s focus on innovative and technology-driven water solutions.

Strengthening Collaboration for the Future

Maccaferri’s participation reflects our continuous effort to support sustainable, resilient, and adaptive water management practices. Platforms such as ICWR 2025 are invaluable for fostering strategic collaborations and sharing expertise to address the growing challenges of water resources management in an era of climate uncertainty.
