We are organizing the LIS-Water’s day | From Latin America to Portugal: a look at the governance of water services, taking place on the 24th of May, at the congress center of the National Civil Engineering Laboratory, in Lisbon, between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm.
LIS-Water’s day is an event that intends to bring to debate the general national and international panorama of water services and a compilation of good practices and experiences of good governance. Interesting experiences will also be addressed in topics such as evaluating and improving the performance of service operators, corporate governance and innovative financing. It will certainly be an opportunity for Portuguese entities and companies to have a perspective of the challenges and market opportunities in that region, and to establish contacts with some of its senior leaders
This year, LIS-Water’s day pays special attention to Latin America, and will feature the participation of leading specialists in the region, the Inter-American Development Bank and regulators from 10 countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Peru and Uruguay).
