KNW Fitting Competitions
The official KNW Fitness Competitions took place for the first time during Aqua Nederland at the Evenementenhal Gorinchem on 18, 19 and 20 March 2025. The 16th edition of the KNW Fittery Competitions was a huge success. More than 50 teams competed for the coveted prizes. It was a spectacular event lasting three days! View the results and highlights.
Next Level
The knowledge theatres and conference rooms are located on Next Level, the upper floor. Given all the developments in the water sector, climate change and its consequences, the Netherlands has no choice but to take action. This will only be a success if the water sector joins forces. Make connections, learn from one another and be inspired during the Aqua Nederland knowledge programme!
