03 Apr 2013
Australian businesses involved in the water industry can learn more about significant opportunities arising from China’s $272 billion investment in water conservation during a trade mission in June.
The Australian Water Solutions Mission is organised by the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) and industry body waterAUSTRALIA to showcase domestic water technologies and services to potential partners and customers in China.
The Chinese Government’s investment in water conservation under the 12th Five-Year Plan to 2015 will reach $272 billion, rising to an estimated $604 billion by 2020.
Businesses involved in water management, efficiency, irrigation, research and other aspects of water conservation can apply to participate in the mission, which will be led by Australia’s Water Advocate and supported by the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE).
The five-day mission will visit Guangzhou and Beijing from 3 June. The deadline for applications is 30 April 2013.
