The global challenge of water stress and scarcity has been accentuated by the growing population, progressing water pollution and rapid economic development in the emerging regional markets. This is driving the demand for advanced water and wastewater treatment technologies and solutions, such as membrane systems, which established a $5.5 billion market size in 2012. It is one of the fastest-growing technology segments, witnessing double-digit growth rates. The increasing penetration of membrane systems across the water cycle has led to innovative management approaches, the improvement of water supply, treatment, conservation, as well as to the much-needed rise in reuse and recycling water.

Europe generated approximately 265 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) in 2012, and the increasing volumes are attributed to packaging and food disposed from households. With an increasing concern about energy security, waste-to-energy plants have emerged as a sustainable practice to address the disposal of municipal solid waste and also generate energy. This briefing summaries the European Thermal Waste-to-Energy Plant sector from 2009 to 2016.

Why You Should Attend:
- Gain understanding of the WTE plant market in Europe
- Receive insight on a perceptible shift in the fuel mix from coal and nuclear power to alternate and renewable sources
- Discuss why, in Europe, more than three-quarters of 480 WTE plants are older than 10 years
- Understand why grate technology is still the most commonly used solution in Europe
- Discover how improving energy efficiencies and lowering air emissions will result in an increased use of process and automation

Why You Should Attend:
· Receive an overview of the 2010-2012 municipal water and wastewater treatment infrastructure projects, including insights into new and existing industry challenges
· Discuss analysis into regional funding limitations and identification of regional growth opportunities, based on spending initiatives and infrastructure investments

Rail infrastructure has been heavily under utilized for several decades in Africa. However, recent trends indicate significant development is taking place in the sector across the continent. The revival of rail transportation in Africa is likely to drive advances in inter-regional connectivity and trade. Additionally, improving rail infrastructure is likely to reduce passenger and freight transportation costs and increase accessibility to wider markets. This briefing will focus on development in select African countries outside of South Africa.

The research service "Analysis of the Facilities Management Market for Government Institutions in Australia" provides an overview of a mature market for numerous facilities management (FM) service providers. Facilities Management services can be provided by external service providers or internal departments, and this  varies across the different Australian states, influenced by the nature of the government in each state.

Notable market trends are the increased focus on the efficient use of office space, green cleaning, increased expectations relating to total FM and property solutions, the need for a strategic approach to managing ageing building stock, and the effective leverage of emerging technologies.

The aim of this briefing is to
·Provide an overview of facilities management market in government institutions in Australia
·Highlight key driver & restraints
·Provide a summary of challenges & opportunities for facilities management service providers
