Government and Industry Moving in Sync Toward a Green Future

During the China's 14th Five-Year Plan period, ecological civilization has entered a critical stage focused on coordinated efforts in carbon reduction, pollution control, and green development, driving the demand for high-quality environmental solutions. As the world’s second largest and Asia's leading professional environmental protection expo, IE Expo China remains a core platform for tracking industry trends and linking government and business resources.

This year's expo and its concurrent conferences welcomed Yu Huiwen, Member of the Leading Party Members' Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment; Xia Kejia, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government; along with numerous academicians and prominent figures from the environmental sector. Delegations from ecological and environmental authorities of 10 provinces and municipalities – including Shanghai, Guangdong, Anhui, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hunan, Shenzhen, Gansu, and Chongqing – attended to conduct in-depth research focused on key topics such as pollution prevention and control, exploration of carbon neutrality pathways, and market-oriented mechanisms for environmental governance.

As Asia's annual environmental industry event, IE Expo China 2025 brought together 2,279 enterprises from across the entire environmental protection value chain, covering water and wastewater, solid waste treatment and resource utilization, air pollution control, soil remediation, environmental monitoring, and carbon neutrality. With an exhibition area of 187,000 square meters, the Expo once again confirmed its benchmark status in Asia’s environmental sector.
