Inspired by Águas do Porto’s response to a major cyberattack, we organised a follow-up meeting with our CIO and their team to share experiences and strengthen our collective approach to digital security. This outcome exemplifies the true value of SWAN: not only as a forum for knowledge, but as a bridge for collaboration that empowers utilities to tackle shared challenges together.

Seeing how SWAN picked up the new EU Cyber Resilience Act so quickly and organise a call with more than 60 participants from SWAN members across Europe, was evidence of why it is important for a company like Gutermann to be a part of this network that is one of its kind in terms of sharing knowledge and forging cooperation on different topics including cyber resilience.

Having a direct line to SWAN to discuss emerging topics like digital autonomy is invaluable. SWAN thinks along with us and helps identify and connect us with utilities already working on these issues. This helps us moving forward much faster!

Meeting with a Director of a major water utility at the recent SWAN Sydney Workshop reminded me: real-time water intelligence isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’ – it’s the bedrock of public health, compliance and future-proofed water security.

SWAN events bring the brightest minds to transform water, together. A great example of this occurred at the Berlin Conference. A leader from Arcadis met a student, Joelle Solowiejczyk, who was completing her research at the University of Oxford. That connection turned into Joelle joining Arcadis as a Water Resilience Consultant!

Through SWAN’s global community, we built a two-way learning relationship with the California Data Collaborative, which offers a practical, field-tested model of data infrastructure, while Chinese utilities bring a large-scale, high-diversity environment in which such models can be adapted, tested and evolved.
