 | "I am particularly grateful for the strong support from the Mainland of China, here with more than 30 official delegations at the central, provincial and municipal levels. Their support underlines the importance the Mainland places on environmental issues and the value they see in this event - the Eco Expo Asia", The Hon KS Wong, GBS, JP said. |
| The Hon KS Wong, GBS, JP; Margaret Fong, Executive Director of HKTDC, and guests visited a number of exhibitors during the VIP Tour.

Li Haisheng, Director-General, Department of International Cooperation, Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People’s Republic of China, delivered the keynote speech, outlining some pressing environmental issues for Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, and how these issues can be addressed. |
| The first day of the Eco Asia Conference centred on the pressing issue of “Global Climate Change,” where industry leaders, government insiders and environmental departments from around the world shared insights and the latest developments in significant green policies. With a rich selection of hot topics and expert speakers, the Conference is a one-stop information platform unveiling the cutting edges of environmental policy development on an international scale. |
 |
| The keynote speech was delivered by The Hon KS Wong, GBS, JP, “The main theme for this year’s Eco Expo Asia is 'Green Solutions for a Changing Climate'. Echoing the main theme, various sub-themes relating to climate change are adopted for this 3-day Conference, including 'How Chinese Mainland Tackles Global Climate Change', as well as 'Energy Efficiency and Energy' and 'Green Buildings'. I am sure you will find the Conference as well as Eco Expo Asia a great opportunity to network with government officials, industry experts and scholars from around the world and to gain insights into the latest market trend and industry developments relating to all these themes.” |

| The Netherlands Group Participation

A group of five Dutch companies participated in Eco Expo Asia 2016 to showcase latest technology focusing on waste management and carbon reduction.
Booth: 3-G18

| Green Tech Alliance Inauguration Ceremony |
| 27/10 (Day 2) – Waste Management |
 |
The topic of waste management has become one of the most pressing issues for a number of countries as population numbers continue to rise. As the main theme of Day 2 of the Expo, international enterprises and government representatives from across Asia will actively seek the latest green solutions and technologies that further amplify the efficiency and sustainability of waste management practices. |
Upcoming themes
28/10 (Day 3) – Sustainable Energies and Buildings
29/10 (Day 4) – Green Living |
 "We have about 750 green enterprises in Canada and we have hand-picked the technologies that are fit for the Hong Kong market, including ScaleBuster, the water treatment device; Ambience Data, an air quality monitoring solution; and the chemical-free coatings from WoodPlus Coatings Group. Hong Kong is a competitive market where Asian regional managers gather, and we believe it is an important hub for doing business, which has propelled us to join Eco Expo Asia. Through the show’s concurrent events, we have met with delegates from property developers and manufacturing industries in Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland who have shown keen interest in Canadian technologies. We have met also officials from the Hong Kong Science Technology Park whom we are discussing potential partnerships with. Not only can the park benefit from such partnerships by incorporating new technologies into their designs and buildings, our exhibitors can also increase their exposure through the display and contacts with visitors – a truly win-win situation for all of the parties involved."

 "We specialize in shredders, turners, anaerobic digestion systems, plant construction and more. We also operate manufacturing refuse-derived fuel (RDF) projects in Singapore and municipal solid waste (MSW) projects in Tel Aviv. A reason why we attend the Expo is that the Organic Waste Treatment Facilities (OWTF) Phase 2 here has opened up opportunities for us to introduce our products into the Hong Kong market. There is a need for sorting and producing RDF and since we produce related machines, there are huge opportunities for our company here. Last year, we met buyers from India and in the morning of the first day this year, I already spoke to prospective clients from the Philippines. "
Heinrich Schumeckers, Area Sales Manager, Eggersmann, Germany

 "The result of last participation was very satisfying in terms of brand promotion and it made us come back again this year. This year, we are introducing our innovative glass projects which streamlined collection, separation and re-processing. I have been very busy the whole morning. We have received a lot of positive feedback and serious enquiries from international visitors such as the US, Israel and Spain. The states of Minnesota and Florida from the USA, who are looking for glass handling solutions, also expressed keen interest in our work. A building material company from Japan also showed interest in our antimicrobial recycling glass tiles and asked for quotations. "

 "I have found highly potential Chinese and Hong Kong sludge and waste water treatment as well as waste-to-energy solutions and service providers here at Eco Expo Asia. I hope to introduce these new and cost-efficient solutions to Malaysia. I have met local exhibitors whom I am very interested in introducing to the Malaysian government, for example, E Tech Management, an e-waste provider; and Baguio Green Group. They can be potential partners for various green joint ventures in Malaysia. I would like to work with local research providers, such as the Nano and Advanced Materials Institute Ltd, who is capable of offering us useful case studies that we can refer to before we sign off such important deals. The Asian green market is highly lucrative with generous bank loans, subsidies and SME financing support pouring in from the governments in the region. Malaysia is also taking an aggressive role in expanding its green industries, which is the main reason why I am here – to look for opportunities to bring back to Malaysia."

 "Our company specialises in central air-conditioning engineering and trading. I came to look for quality IAQ (indoor air quality) products and air purifiers. I have visited several good exhibitors and plan to place order with at least three of them, including Viesta, E.Tech and Biozone. I have also found a waterproof coating supplier of which I believe is highly demanded on the Chinese mainland. At Eco Expo Asia, I can find high quality products, which is win-win for my business, my clients and the suppliers."
Wu Meng, General Manager, Shenzhen De Yong Environment S&T Co Ltd, the Chinese mainland

 "I work for a consulting company which deals with a lot of green businesses. It is my first time to the show. I am looking for water treatment companies, and I have spoken to five of them. They are good and there could be potential collaborations. The majority of them are from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. Hong Kong's green business is developing and it is going to be better and better."
