Being at IFAT 2026 AKUT holds discussions and is networking with various stakeholders in the water management sector.

In this context, our ‘rainwater expert’, Anne Wehrmann, also took part – in her capacity as deputy chair of the Maris Network of the Berlin-Brandenburg Water Industry – in a joint round-table discussion with the fbr – Bundesverband für Betriebs- und Regenwasser e. V. (Federal Association for Process and Rainwater) on a joint approach to implementing sponge city principles. In addition to the board members, the managing directors of both organisations were also present.
