UZBEKISTAN DELEGATION EXPLORES FINLAND’S WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES

The Uzbekistan delegation studied Finland’s advanced experience in water resources management, wastewater treatment and environmental monitoring.

The delegation visited the modern Viikinmäki wastewater treatment plant in Helsinki. At this facility, the largest of its kind in Finland and Northern Europe, the delegation learned about mechanical, chemical and biological wastewater treatment, digital process monitoring and the production of energy from biogas generated during treatment.

Meetings were also held with representatives of the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke), the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), Aalto University, and the companies Fluidit, Solar Water Solutions, Vaisala and Kemira.

The discussions focused on sustainable water resources management, groundwater research and protection, wastewater treatment, digital monitoring, the use of artificial intelligence and the implementation of joint research projects.

The visit identified opportunities for practical cooperation in adapting advanced Finnish scientific and technological solutions to Uzbekistan’s conditions, exchanging expertise and implementing joint projects.
