Chinese firms keen on VN’s environmental protection market
Viet Nam has become an important market for Chinese businesses operating in environmental protection.
This is because of the increasing negative impact on the environment in the process of Viet Nam’s economic development, industrialisation, urbanisation and exploitation of natural resources.
Gang Jiang, director of the China Environment Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, said this at a press conference in Ha Noi on Tuesday to introduce the Asia trade fair for environmental technology solutions, or IE Expo China 2018.
The expo will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from May 3-5. Covering more than 120,000sq.m, the expo is expected to attract 1,800 businesses from 30 countries to showcase their latest products and services.
“Joining the expo will help Vietnamese businesses approach and seek the latest environmental protection technology solutions,” Jiang said.
The annual expo has been one of the largest expos in the environment sector in Asia. The 19th edition of the expo will have 11 exhibition indoor areas and an outdoor area. Some 1,800 businesses from 30 countries and territories, such as the US, Italy, Germany, Japan, Viet Nam and South Korea, will showcase their latest products and services. Some of the world’s largest firms, including Suez, Veolia, Pentair, Xylem, Honeywell and Philips, will participate in the expo.
The three-day event will also organise 30 conferences and forums.
China is the world’s second-largest market in the trading of environmental protection products.
