The 2017 World Hydropower Congress took place on 9–11 May in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The congress is a multi-stakeholder forum that brings together leaders and specialists with hydropower-related responsibilities from government, industry, finance, UN agencies, academia and civil society.

This year the congress was hosted in Africa for the first time, under the theme 'better hydro in an interconnected world'. This short video captures some of the highlights from the United Nations Conference Center.
