The Chinese mainland’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the Ministry of Water Resources have unveiled a bold plan to accelerate breakthroughs in water-saving equipment. Recognizing efficient water supply, utilization and recycling as cornerstones of national water security, the roadmap sets clear milestones.
By 2027, the goal is to secure core technologies with independent intellectual property rights and commercialize advanced solutions in high-efficiency recirculating cooling, smart water management and other critical fields. This push aims to reduce water waste, lower operational costs and support green industries.
A robust standards system will underpin the effort, while targeted support for leading enterprises is expected to cultivate innovators capable of scaling new products. Data-driven monitoring and digital platforms will drive transparent performance metrics, helping stakeholders measure progress in real time.
Looking ahead to 2030, the plan envisions the Chinese mainland as a global frontrunner in water-saving equipment. With a comprehensive ecosystem for high-performance, efficient and durable products, the region aims to export technology that addresses mounting water stress worldwide.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts, this initiative offers a front-row seat to sustainable innovation in action. As startups and established players race to deliver the next wave of water-smart solutions, the plan could redefine how industries conserve and manage our planet’s most precious resource.
