The IE Expo is Asia's leading trade fair for environmental technology and is regarded as the most important platform for practical solutions in the areas of water supply, sewage, waste disposal, recycling, air pollution control, environmental technology and renewable energies. Due to the soaring demand for new environmental technologies and solutions and the increasing support of this industry by the Chinese Government, the business potential in the environment industry in China is very large. Thus, the IE Expo is a must for international companies, if they want to conquer the Chinese market. The fair is held annually in Shanghai and is authorized to trade visitors only. Key points of the fair are water and wastewater treatment, waste management and remediation, air purification and air cleaning. The IE Expo is an offshoot of the IFAT in Munich, the world's leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management and is accompanied by a first class technical-scientific conference program. Here the transfer of knowledge, the exchange of ideas and the networking between national and international exhibitors and visitors are in the foreground.
On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 3 days of the fair, from 06. May to 08. May 2015, about 1085 exhibitors and 40046 visitors on the IE Expo in Shanghai.
The IE Expo will take place on 3 days from Thursday, 03. May to Saturday, 05. May 2018 in Shanghai.
