The trade show enjoys strong internationality and visitor participation. This year we had more visitors than during the previous two shows and we were frankly out of breath talking to all visitors. China is keen on environmental industry and a lot of experts talked with us.”

“Trade fairs are the most suitable instrument to showcase environmental technologies. IFAT CHINA has a very good concept and adequately demonstrates the variety and complexity of the different environmental technologies. We are very pleased about the high Chinese participation. Thereby there is a good chance that the high and still growing demand for environmental technologies in China can be met by the Chinese domestic industry as well as by fruitful co-operations with foreign companies. This is the basis to balance the strong economic growth with the ecological requirements of this large country.”

“IFAT CHINA took a great step forward in terms of exhibitor numbers, Chinese participation and the overall presentation. No other environmental trade fair in China features so many high-ranking exhibitors and technical innovations. Germany is the world market leader in the area of environmental technology and the Chinese environmental market is one of the most important ones. I am sure that the markets for environmental technologies will be the leading markets in the future and IFAT CHINA provides numerous solutions for these very markets. This trade fair enjoys a very good reputation.”

“IFAT CHINA 2008 was successful. MMI is an internationally known exhibition organizer and also well-known in China. This year, IFAT CHINA has strengthened its internationality and grown to become an influential exhibition in Asia. The exhibition is also serving national companies well. The participation of national exhibitors has been growing since the first show, from a dozen to half of the exhibitors this year. It is strong evidence that IFAT CHINA is an attractive trade fair in China. Chinese government is paying more attention to energy-saving and emission-reduction in recent years. There are a lot of similar exhibitions but IFAT CHINA enjoys better internationality and exhibitor quality.”
