EcoTech China, staged alongside Aquatech China and FlowTech China inside Shanghai’s National Exhibition & Convention Center, is the country’s flagship trade show for environmental technology, water, pump, valve and flow-control solutions. The 2024 edition, held 3-5 December, occupied 180,000 m² and welcomed 85,000 professional visitors from 68 countries. Organiser Informa Markets positions the event as a one-stop platform where municipal authorities, industrial end-users, EPC contractors, consultants, investors and component distributors discover innovations needed to meet China’s “dual-carbon” and water-security targets. More than 2,400 brands exhibited, including Veolia, Grundfos, Pentair, Kurita, Toray, Suez, Ecolab, Xylem, Dow, Evoqua, BWT, Netafim and local leaders OriginWater, Sound Group and Beijing Enterprises Water. Product zones covered smart water networks, desalination, sludge minimisation, zero-liquid-discharge, industrial wastewater reuse, membrane bioreactors, leak-detection, chemical-free disinfection, high-efficiency pumps, stainless-steel valves, IoT-enabled flow meters, and hydrogen-compatible transfer systems. A joint “Future Water Theatre” and “Carbon-Neutral Technology Park” hosted 120 technical seminars. 2024 keynote speakers were Wang Hao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Zhang Jian, deputy director of the Ministry of Ecology & Environment planning institute; and Sophie Proust, CTO of Suez. Hot sessions debated PFAS removal strategies, energy-positive wastewater plants, AI-driven pump scheduling, and upcoming discharge standards for battery-recycling effluent. The show’s match-making app arranged 4,600 one-to-one buyer meetings; on-site “Demo Zones” let visitors compare membrane fouling rates under real feed water. Concurrently, the Asian Water Council Summit signed a memorandum with six Yangtze-River cities to pilot sponge-city financing. EcoTech China alternates between Shanghai and Guangzhou; the next Shanghai return is scheduled 5-7 May 2025, with expanded halls for carbon-capture integration and water-for-semiconductor applications. Visitor pre-registration opens six months in advance and is free to industry professionals; students and civil servants receive subsidised entry.
