The former Regional Forum China has expanded its focus beyond the borders of its former focus country and now offers a contact point for all members of German Water Partnership who are active in the various countries and regions of East Asia or are interested in gaining a foothold in the markets there. To actively assist in these endeavors, our regional forum establishes and maintains contacts with institutions and companies throughout East Asia, participates in trade fairs, and organizes trips and conferences to facilitate the initiation of business by German companies and institutions in the water industry in the region.
