The first China offline Critical Utilities (CU)-Water COPs (Communities of Practice) was successfully held in Renaissance

Xu Bin (Novo Nordisk) and Xie Jingjun (NNE) delivered fantastic speeches regarding WFI and Water purification project
respectively. 15 delegates attended this COP offline. Participants think highly of the content delivered by the two
speakers. Some said the presentations are very practical and helpful to their daily work, they hope more of these
events held in the future. The fact that this event is held in Chinese is also a reason why it is welcomed. ISPE China
