Eco Expo Asia International Trade Fair on Environmental
Protection
October 28-31 2009, AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong
Following its success in 2008, Eco Expo Asia, Hong Kong’s only trade fair
that is dedicated to products, services and solutions for environmental
protection returns with a new co-organiser, the Hong Kong Environment
Bureau. Last year’s event attracted over 6,000 visitors from
around the world, an increase of 20%
as compared with 2007. The fourth edition of
Eco Expo Asia
fair will run from 28 – 31 October 2009 at AsiaWorld-Expo, with strong
support from both local and international government associations
emphasizing the need for a professional environmental protection business
platform in the South China region.
With Hong Kong’s great advantage in being in close proximity to the Chinese
mainland, a growing number of companies in the Pearl River Delta (PRD)
region are looking to Hong Kong as a platform to obtain service support
including green technology and services. The two areas have reached a
consensus on jointly transforming the PRD region into a green and quality
living area under the principle of promoting environmental protection and
sustainable development.
The Hong Kong Environment Bureau plans to work closely with PRD region
government authorities to reduce emissions, develop wider use of renewable
energies, enhance conservation and greening as well as increase publicity
and education. They will also further promote environmental technology
transfer by inviting the Chinese mainland government to form provincial and
city pavilions at Eco Expo Asia 2009.
What’s more, the Chinese Central government has recently announced a US$500
billion (RMB 4 trillion) stimulus package to boost domestic consumption and
growth amid the challenging global economic situation. Meanwhile, the
Environmental Protection Minister in China has also pledged to raise another
US$140 billion (RMB 1 trillion) over the next three years, dedicated solely
to support renewable energy and pollution treatment within the region,
making Chinese mainland one of the key markets for the environmental
protection industry for both commercial and consumer perspectives.

industry
