PIANO Workshop “What can Europe offer to China in terms of water innovations?

As part of Shanghai IE Expo (3 May - 5 May), the largest annual event of environment sector in Asia, the European Chamber has been invited to support the event "PIANO Workshop: What can Europe offer to China in terms of water innovations?". Mr. Huang Xiaojun prepared a presentation to share European Water Experience and Innovation with China. Due to Mr. Huang's sudden unavailability, Mr. Zhang Xiaobo spoke on his behalf.

PIANO is a strategic cooperation partnership for water research and innovation between Europe and China to create social and economic cooperation opportunities in the European and Chinese water sectors. The partnership is composed of nine core partners, mainly from EU, and 12 cooperation partners from China. PIANO is funded under the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme and has been supported by the China Europe Water Platform (CEWP). Among its objectives are strengthening the existing network of the CEWP, identification of European technological water innovations that have a potential for implementation in China, identification of drivers and barriers related to implementation and replication of water innovations in China, and promotion of knowledge exchange. www.project-piano.net
