Danish Export – Water China (DEA-Water China), Danish Environment Protection Agency (DEPA) and Trade Council’s Water and Environment Team (TC-W&E) at the Embassy in Beijing have established a partnership on Water in China.
Through the partnership project U-S-E Water 2.0, we have held technical workshops with 7 local water utilities in China in April, and we are going to have workshops with 5 more Chinese utilities in September. Based on these meetings and our follow ups, we are planning to invite the most potential Chinese water stakeholders to Denmark. The activity will include:
- Technical workshops, networking
- Site visits to Danish Water and Wastewater Plants, and Danish suppliers
The purpose is showcasing Danish green and water technology, branding and marketing as many Danish companies as possible, thus driving a potential and in-depth cooperation on water and environment demo project in China.
