About the Event
Water has moved to the centre of ASEAN’s infrastructure agenda. Cities are growing faster than the networks built to serve them, floods are arriving with greater force, coastlines are retreating and ageing assets are reaching the limits of what they can carry. Around 110 million people across the region still live without safe drinking water, and wastewater, drainage and supply capacity remain unevenly distributed across member states. At the same time, rising electricity demand is putting new weight on dams, hydropower and pumped storage, tying the region’s water future directly to its energy future.

Key Themes
Market Drivers
Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam (High-risk coastal cities)
Rising sea levels of ~3.3 mm per year combined with severe land subsidence—reaching 5–10 cm annually in cities like Jakarta, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City—are turning once-rare floods into frequent urban disruptions, driving urgent investment in coastal protection and stormwater systems.
ASEAN Coastal Economies
Coastal regions across ASEAN generate a significant share of national GDP and support hundreds of millions living in low-lying zones, making resilience infrastructure essential to safeguarding economic growth and urban stability.
ASEAN (Climate-vulnerable markets)
With global coastal flood damage projected to reach $1 trillion annually by 2050, ASEAN countries—particularly Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam—are accelerating large-scale infrastructure pipelines and PPP opportunities to mitigate long-term risks.
