New-type productivity, an advanced form of productivity that plays a leading role in innovation and conforms to the new development concept, represents a break from traditional economic growth patterns and productivity development paths. Characterized by high technology, efficiency, and quality, it drives high-quality economic development, not only expanding the depth of China's economic development but also injecting new momentum into the global economy.

The next 'China' is still China. For the world, China's new-type productivity, driven by innovation and centered on total factor productivity, is creating a new 'attractiveness' in the global industrial landscape. This new-type productivity is accelerating across China, driving new economic growth points through continuous technological progress and innovation.

Facing a complex domestic and international market environment, many outstanding innovative products, advanced technologies, and comprehensive solutions from Chinese enterprises are hindered by various objective factors from going global and gaining international recognition and promotion opportunities.

To help more domestic innovative products and technologies go global and expand overseas businesses through professional award recognition, Aquatech China has launched the 'Aquatech China Innovation Award (AQC Water Technology Innovation Award)' concurrently with Aquatech China 2024 Asia Water Technology Exhibition.

The Aquatech Innovation Award is a high-quality international professional award originating from the Aquatech Amsterdam International Water Exhibition. It focuses on exhibitors' innovations, encouraging and recognizing innovative products, technologies, and solutions that have yet to hit the market. As a professional innovation award in the water treatment industry, the AQC Water Technology Innovation Award inherits the high quality and professionalism of the Aquatech Innovation Award. A professional jury will select the most innovative technology or product from the five categories submitted by participating companies.

Award-winning companies will speak at the award ceremony at Aquatech Amsterdam 2025, and their winning entries will be displayed in the Innovation Lab area at Aquatech China 2024. Aquatech China 2024 will also provide comprehensive content exposure and brand coverage for award-winning companies through official websites, social media, and industry media channels.
