Evonik at 2010 Boao Forum for Asia to support green recovery of Asia's sustainable growth

In the report published by the management and strategy consultancy Oliver Wyman, “In 2015, 40 percent of the world’s population will live in cities with more than one million residents.” With the acceleration of global urbanization and modernization, especially in Asia, people are more and more concerned with the sustainable development of society and economy.

What will Asia be like in the future? Where are the latest technologies leading us? What impetus will be needed by society in ten or twenty years? What does an ageing population mean? Only if we answer the above questions, can we ensure timely identification of trends and future markets. Addressing the global megatrends, Evonik strives to offer a wide variety of innovative solutions for resource efficiency, health and nutrition, and globalization of technologies.

As a leading global specialty chemicals company for decades, Evonik has been one of the important sponsors to Boao Forum for Asia. Joining hands again with the Boao Forum for Asia this year, we continue to share our ideas of the sustainable development of Asia with the government and business leaders, in order to embrace the green recovery of Asia economy together.
