Fu Tao, the chief partner of the E20 Environmental Platform and director of the Production, Education, and Research Center of the School of Environment, Peking University, said that the mission of the environmental industry in the next 10 years is to guide and promote the third wave of the environmental industry, and implement the high-quality oriented one body, two wings strategy.

Wang Kaijun, a professor at the School of Environment at Tsinghua University and director of the National Environmental Protection Technology Management and evalsuation Engineering Technology Center, proposed in a keynote speech entitled "Productization Thinking Boosts the Transition of Engineering to Productization" that productization is a requirement for the development of enterprises themselves, the comprehensiveness of functions is the only way to productization, and technological progress is the prerequisite for productization.

Wang Hongchen, a professor at the School of Environment at Renmin University of China and director of the Research Center for Low Carbon Water Environment Technology at Renmin University of China, said that technology commercialization must be based on product oriented technology, and technology commercialization will reshape the future pattern of the water industry.

It is reported that after the selection of water industry enterprises in 2022, through enterprise application, network interaction, data evalsuation, and other processes, more than 40 leading water industry enterprises were listed among the top ten influential enterprises. Through operational, asset, and financial scale indicators, including "double hundred leaps", the top ten influential enterprises in the water industry in 2022 were finally selected. Representatives of award-winning enterprises will give speeches and share.

Wang Jipoan, the rotating CEO of Beikong Water Group, said that now is the best and most challenging era for the water industry, and high-quality development is the mission of the entire industry. Xing Junyi, Deputy General Manager of Beijing Pioneer Ecological Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd., said that the commercialization of services may be the greatest common denominator of high-quality development. Yang Jian, Deputy General Manager of China Environmental Protection Water Investment Co., Ltd., shared the topic of "Upgrading the Whole Business Domain Model to Boost the High Quality Development of Enterprises". He said that various service modes have been established, such as regional integration+integration of water supply and drainage, differentiated service mode in the water supply field, park water butler mode, and "low-carbon+resource-based" mode in the sewage field.

"Without solid technological innovation, there is no future," said Li Haifei, general manager of Guangdong Yuehai Water Co., Ltd. Water enterprises should increase investment in scientific research to address systematic integration issues that are more complex, technically difficult, and involve a wider range of fields. Hu Yanguo, Chairman of China Everbright Water Co., Ltd., said that taking water as the source, extending upstream and downstream around the entire industrial chain, building a digital water plant, relying on service-oriented products to empower the industry, and helping to achieve the goal of safer, more environmentally friendly, and lower carbon. Huang Jianglong, Vice Chairman and President of Beijing Bishuanyuan Technology Co., Ltd., shared the topic of "Strengthening Scientific and Technological Innovation, Enhancing Core Competitiveness, Promoting High Quality Development of Environmental Protection Industry".

Ji Guanglin, Deputy General Manager of Tianjin Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Chairman of Tianjin Chuangye Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd., said that in the face of the wave of industrialization, we should take a professional road and become a professional service provider in the field of water treatment and water resource utilization. Yu Zhengxin, General Manager of China Holdings Water Co., Ltd., shared the topic of "Double Wheel Drive, Healthy Development - Exploration and Practice of Product Iteration and Service Upgrade". Upgrading technology products and services are two paths for enterprises to seek healthy development, and they are mutually driven. Currently, technical products have been built to meet multi scenario environmental governance, and a multi scenario service upgrade plan has been created. Pang Hongtao, Assistant President of China Water Environment Group, said that in the new era, sewage plants are gradually transforming from aboveground to underground, and from centralized to distributed, becoming green infrastructure for urban water resources, green energy, digital management, and efficient utilization of aboveground and underground space. Shi Xiaofeng, Deputy General Manager of CECEP Guozhen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., said that four major areas, namely, deep cultivation of river basin treatment, industrial wastewater, integration of water supply and drainage, and innovative business, will welcome the third wave of environmental industry.

"Standardization" and "intellectualization" have become important choices and development paths for the environmental industry. Li Chao, the general manager of Baidu AI Cloud Water Business Department, pointed out in the report entitled AI+Water Smart Leading the Future that intelligent application scenarioses should be built around the two fields of smart water conservancy and smart water, and the four directions of digital twins, urban and rural water supply, integrated water services, and vertical water services. Lin Ling, President of the Resources and Environment Research Branch of the China Institute of Standardization, said that the focus of the environmental industry in the next stage should be shifted from technological breakthroughs and engineering to high-quality, large-scale, and branding of the environmental industry, thereby promoting high-quality development of the industry.
