OSLO, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- As the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) approaches, Danfoss, a leading Danish energy efficiency solution company, is preparing to showcase its innovative products and announce new strategic partnerships aimed at contributing to China's green transition.

This year marks Danfoss' fifth participation in the CIIE, and the company's leadership is optimistic about the opportunities the expo presents.

Kim Fausing, president and CEO of Danfoss, emphasized the importance of the CIIE in fostering collaboration and business growth.

"Through the new partnerships we are going to announce during CIIE, we hope to accelerate the implementation of our green solutions. Our message is clear: it's not only possible to curb emissions with existing decarbonization technology, but it is also profitable," Fausing told Xinhua in a recent interview.

Highlighting that the CIIE serves as an important platform for multinationals to explore opportunities in China's rapidly growing green economy, he said that Danfoss is well-positioned to contribute to China's green agenda.

"The CIIE is an ideal platform for us to better understand the market and strengthen our ties with our Chinese partners," Fausing noted.

"Danfoss has established itself as a trusted partner in China's decarbonization journey," he said, adding that the company has a significant presence in China, and its solutions have been integrated into such areas as carbon-neutral initiatives.

This year, Danfoss will bring a broad range of solutions to the CIIE, covering sectors such as data centers, water and wastewater treatment, and food and beverage industry. Fausing stressed that these solutions are designed to create unique value for China's green transition, providing efficiency and sustainability.
