Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), has invited companies and organisations working in energy, water, the environment, and renewable energy to participate and display their products and services at the 19th Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX), and the 2nd Dubai Solar Show which will be held from
October 23-25 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
DEWA organises WETEX under the directives of Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance and President of DEWA.
For the 4th consecutive year, DEWA organises WETEX under the umbrella of Green Week, which includes a series of environmental activities and events aimed at raising awareness about the conservation of energy, sustainable development, and providing a green economy in Dubai.
The 18th WETEX and 1st Dubai Solar Show in October 2016 attracted 1,975 exhibitors and 25,000 visitors from 47 countries. They were an important platform for companies and organisations working in sectors such as energy, renewable energy, water, and the environment, to promote their technologies and projects, meet with decision makers, investors, buyers and interested people from around the world, conduct deals and build partnerships, learn about the latest solar-energy technologies, as well as opportunities to take part in solar energy projects and programmes in the region.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, and President and Founder of WETEX, said, “Over 18 years, WETEX has grown to be the largest and most important specialised exhibition in the region in these key sectors. The exhibition has established itself as a key international event and a platform that brings together exhibitors, visitors, experts, specialists, decision makers, and investors. This year, a large number of international companies will take part in WETEX. They see it as an ideal platform to display their green solutions and products at a time when the UAE and Dubai Government continue to launch promising projects to support the green economy and sustainable development.”
