More than 2,000 exhibitors from 50 different countries will showcase their green solutions, products and technologies at the upcoming Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (Wetex) expo in Dubai, UAE.

A global platform for exhibitors to share ideas and best practices with the world’s leading players in water, energy, and environment, Wetex will kick off on October 23 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre and run till October 25 covering a surface area of over 70,000 sq m, said the organisers.  

Announcing the launch date, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the managing director and chief executive of Dewa, said: "This year's event will be held under the theme 'At the Forefront of Sustainability,' and is part of Green Week. It will also coincide with the 2nd Dubai Solar Show and the 4th World Green Economy Summit."

"At least 60 speakers from all over the world will focus on key topics, such as smart cities, green economy, innovation, and sustainable development at this year's World Green Economy Summit," stated Al Tayer, also the founder and chairman of Wetex.

Wetex has become an important strategic platform for firms specialised in renewables from the region and all over the world, through which they can present their green solutions, products and technologies, and build solid business relationships with the world's decision makers and major investors in these fields," he added.

Al Tayer said the second edition of Dubai Solar Show, the region's biggest exhibition focused on solar technologies, will be held over a 14,000-sq-m area on the sidelines of Wetex.

"The events agenda will include a number of high-profile discussions addressing key topics such as the regulations necessary for driving renewable energy projects, strategies of energy demand management, the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
