"The environmental industry is widely regarded as having huge growth potential and is set to play an important role in the sustainable development of the economy," said HKTDC Acting Executive Director Benjamin Chau, speaking at a press conference held today to introduce highlights of the 2019 expo. "This year's fair aims to promote cooperation and exchange between environmental and related industries from different countries and regions. This will help them grasp the latest green business opportunities and encourage the development of a low-carbon economy and greener lifestyles."
Hong Kong Pavilion showcases innovative green solutions
