WIPO GREEN is piloting a technology and needs assessment project in the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam, focusing on the industrial/municipal wastewater treatment sector.
Following a major stakeholder consultation exercise, the project will document local technology needs in this sector, and test technologies that could address the issues of wastewater treatment.
The project will culminate with a seminar with matchmaking opportunities, to be held in Manila in mid-April, in cooperation with Asian Development Bank and Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.
The seminar will bring together technology seekers, owners and relevant stakeholders from green tech sector.

----------------------------------WIPO GREEN technology of the month
Multi-Layer Conical and High Efficiency Diffuser by Korea Technology Finance Corporation (KOTEC)
This is a system to generate uniform bubbles by triangle pitch method. It is widely used in general filtration plants, sewage and waste water disposal plants, and sewage disposal tanks and has three distinct features: (i) high rate of oxygen delivery, (ii) high agitation function, and (iii) high energy saving effect.
It can be added to existing waste water or sewage treatment systems without major renovation. This state of the art technology is being applied in Waste water and livestock excretions disposal plants (WWTP) and Terminal Disposal Plant of Sewage (STP) in different provinces of Republic of Korea.
