The show is organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and the Chinese Hydraulic Engineering Society (CHES).

An increase in exhibitor and visitor numbers is expected this year at the venue which is Beijing's newest international conference centre.

More than 70 participants attended a seminar in Japan organised by Messe Frankfurt and the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), a government-related organisation that promotes mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world. As a result of the successful seminar, JETRO is expanding their exhibition space at Water Expo China. Japanese companies want to enter the Chinese water market because of its size.
