HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, Founder and Chairman of WETEX and DSS, noted that the exhibition provides an ideal platform for signing deals and creating partnerships between local and international companies. It also enables decision-makers and investors from around the world to meet, sign deals and build partnerships, and learn about market needs, future projects, and opportunities to join renewable or clean energy projects in the UAE. This is especially important because of the ‘Projects of the 50,’ where the UAE aims to increase public-private partnerships and provide promising investment opportunities in the country.
The 23rd WETEX, held at Expo 2020 Dubai, attracted 1,200 companies from 55 countries, 61 sponsors, 10 country pavilions, and 45,506 visitors from around the world. DEWA organised 56 seminars and panel discussions. Topics included sustainability; renewable and clean energy production and storage; green hydrogen; water desalination using clean energy; carbon capture; circular economy; waste to energy; Artificial Intelligence (AI); emerging technologies in utilities; smart meters and networks; and post-COVID-19 innovation.
