" Today we are witnessing a great change unseen in a century, where traditional industries are facing redefinition and the environmental protection industry must face such changes. Artificial intelligence offers new quality productivity, changing all industrial models; intelligent advancement is the modern environmental protection industry high-quality development. First, realize the extension of value, actively guide the downstream with stability and standardization, and strive to be the upstream industry with responsibility and responsibility. The second is to adhere to innovation to achieve dimensional multiplication, through the integration of intelligence and energy in the field of fine segmentation, enhance the value dimension and achieve value multiplication. The third is to strengthen the singularity, replace the difference with standardized and intelligent curing products, and improve the quality of basic environmental services. The fourth is to break through the dimension of innovation, and form intelligent units through the combination of process technology, complete sets of equipment and artificial intelligence to achieve industrial leadership. "

Massimo Bagnasco

National Vice President Chairman，Southwest China Chapter, European Chamber

"Climate change is the biggest challenge that we all have to face and we can only win with aligned, coordinated and urgent actions.

China and Europe have both made formal commitments with stringent goals towards decarbonisation. Our collaborative efforts have contributed significantly, fostering an environment where businesses thrive amidst global challenges. Climate change, environmental protection and decarbonization has remained a cornerstone of our collaboration. However, the mere application of clean energy technologies cannot ensure effective decarbonisation, unless it is part of comprehensive solutions.

All industrial and service sectors must play a coordinated, proactive role, especially those involved across the energy supply chains. New economic models, lifestyles, and a radical cultural shift are equally important drivers in the path to carbon neutrality."
