Beijing, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/15/2009 -- The clean-tech industry in China is witnessing an amazing rate of growth, and firms from all sectors are vying to get a piece of the pie. Lehman, Lee & Xu is notably pro-active in the area, with its Energy & Resources practice group well-focused on green investment and new and renewable energy projects. The Energy & Resources group is headed by Edward Lehman himself, the managing director of the firm.

As such, the China Cleantech Business Forum is a conference that the firm could not miss. The event takes place at the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing today and represents a significant opportunity for players from the clean-tech industry to network and expand their business. Lehman underlines that “events like the China Cleantech Business Forum are key to getting the practical insights and the necessary connections that we professionals need to advance in China’s clean-energy and clean-technology fields. We believe that the event will be a success for all of the participants”.

China's commitment to become more energy-efficient and to shift toward a more environmentally-friendly approach to sustain its fast-pace economic growth and comply with its obligations - though they are non-binding - under the Kyoto Protocol, create numerous opportunities for foreign and domestic investors in the research, development, and sale of green technology. The most technologically advanced countries, such as Japan and the US – California in particular – play major roles and are seeing the greatest benefits from their investment in the area.
