"As an important support for green development, the environmental protection industry is a key force in achieving sustainable economic and social development." Recently, the Guangdong Environmental Protection Industry Association and the E20 Environmental Platform held the "Guangdong Environmental Protection Industry High-Quality Development Research Launch Ceremony and Consultation Seminar", bringing together forces from all walks of life in environmental protection to carry out research on the high-quality development of Guangdong's environmental protection industry.
"Strengthening research on high-quality development of the environmental protection industry and developing new quality productivity of the environmental protection industry are of great significance to accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of Guangdong's economic and social development and promoting high-level protection of the ecological environment and high-quality development of the social economy." Zhou Xuefeng, a second-level researcher at the Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, introduced in his speech that Guangdong will further strengthen scientific and technological innovation in the environmental protection industry and continuously enhance the core competitiveness of industrial enterprises; at the same time, it will increase efforts to deepen international cooperation in the environmental protection industry, learn from international advanced experience, and expand the international market for the environmental protection industry.
Mai Jianbo, president of the Guangdong Environmental Protection Industry Association, said that the association is currently working hard to transform from a transactional association to a smart association and the brain of an industry think tank, and is committed to promoting the realization of the association's mission through the "four services". The association plays a bridging role, building a platform to carry out research on the high-quality development of Guangdong's environmental protection industry, supporting Guangdong's high-quality planning and high-level protection, providing feedback on questions and problems in the process of policy implementation, providing service guidance to solve industry pain points and difficulties, changing the unhealthy status quo of industrial development, exploring new market directions, and promoting the continuous improvement of government-related environmental protection policies.
Fu Tao, Chief Partner and Director of the Research Institute of E20 Environmental Platform, believes that high-quality development is the theme of the entire Chinese economy, and ecological environmental protection work should provide support for high-quality development. He believes that if the environmental industry wants to have a new position, it must be deeply industrialized, turning services, engineering, and equipment into products, and using productization to promote the high-quality advancement of the environmental industry.
