ERT was invited to participate in the historic July 2011 U.S. China Trade, Culture and Education Conference hosted by the American and Chinese Friendship Promotion Society as the only U.S. company to do a presentation on clean water technology. It was the first time that three Provincial Governors and a Party Secretary have been on the same program anywhere outside of China and included Utah's Governor Herbert and many local dignitaries. China has allocated $300 billion for clean water technologies so it is a high priority focus for them.
