Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is organising the 21st Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) under the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance and President of DEWA. WETEX will be held from 21-23 October 2019 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. For the 6th consecutive year, DEWA is organising WETEX under the umbrella of Green Week, which includes various environmental activities and events to raise awareness about the importance of using energy and water sensibly, and the key components of sustainable development and green economy.

The 21st WETEX and the 4th Dubai Solar Show will provide an opportunity to review the latest innovative solutions in energy, water, and the environment. Many of these technologies will be unveiled for the first time, especially in renewable energy, water, sustainability and rationalisation. The two exhibitions will act as an integrated platform for companies and organisations working in these key sectors to promote their products, services and innovative technologies, and meet decision-makers, investors, buyers and interested parties from around the world to make deals, build partnerships, review the latest technologies in these sectors, learn about current and future projects and market needs, and explore opportunities to take part in solar-energy projects and programmes in the region.

Remarkable success of the 20th WETEX and 3rd Dubai Solar Show

The 20th WETEX and the 3rd Dubai Solar Show in October 2018 were very successful with large participation from exhibitors, visitors, participants, and government organisations. The two exhibitions covered 78,413 square metres, attracted 2,100 exhibitors from 53 countries, and attracted over 35,000 visitors from all over the world.

The two exhibitions were an important global platform to review the latest technologies related to the water, energy, environment, and resource management. The two shows hosted a large number of experts, specialists, solution providers, investors, decision makers, and consumers from the government and private sectors. Over three days, around 400 business meetings were conducted as part of the free business-to-business service to facilitate meetings between sponsors, exhibitors, and trade visitors, so exhibitors could expand and promote their businesses. Participants emphasised that WETEX and the Dubai Solar Show were ideal for presenting and discussing the most important topics and latest developments in water, energy, environmental management, sustainable development, electricity and water conservation technologies, and renewable energy. Over three days, DEWA organised many workshops and seminars that were very popular among visitors, exhibitors, and specialists.
