During the meeting, both parties first reviewed their past collaboration history. They unanimously acknowledged the stable operation of previously jointly advanced projects and the positive feedback on products from end-users.

These tangible achievements laid a solid practical foundation for deepening cooperation.

Subsequent discussions featured Veolia comprehensively showcasing its global business footprint, technological systems, and international product portfolio advantages, while BGT highlighted its deep market expertise and project implementation capabilities within China. Led by Mr. Gao Qizhi, both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on key areas including membrane technology, seawater desalination, sludge treatment, zero-liquid discharge processes, compact equipment, and integrated application of complete technology chains. This facilitated a more comprehensive understanding of each other's technical systems and practical implementation capabilities, while also identifying preliminary areas for potential collaboration. Regarding industry trends and market opportunities, both parties reached a high level of consensus: significant growth potential remains in sectors such as salt chemical processing, papermaking, and electronics, while the Xinjiang region and Southeast Asian markets demonstrate exceptional development prospects in the coming years. Xinjiang, as a core area of mutual focus, will serve as a key focal point for future collaboration.

This exchange represents a significant opportunity for BGT and Veolia to deepen strategic mutual trust and expand the boundaries of their collaboration.
