From August 28 to 29, 2025, the winning teams of the China Selection Competition for the 2025 Global University Challenge, jointly organized by CESE and the German Water Association, visited the headquarters of WILO China for a research and learning program. Nine award-winning students from Tongji University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Southeast University gained insights into WILO China’s strengths in water pump technology, product R&D, and market development through exhibition visits, factory tours, expert discussions, and hands-on sessions. This research and learning activity served as a bridge connecting theoretical classroom learning with industrial practice, showcasing to the students WILO's cutting-edge technologies, lean management, and a strong sense of responsibility for sustainable development, while also providing them with extremely valuable frontline perspectives and vivid case studies.
