The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is set to organize the 27th edition of the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) from September 30 to October 2, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This event will be held under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, along with the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy.

WETEX is recognized as a significant global sustainability event and the largest of its kind in the region, encompassing sectors such as energy, water, green development, and sustainability. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA and founder and chairman of WETEX, highlighted that the ongoing support from the UAE’s leadership has allowed WETEX to evolve into a globally pioneering event that accelerates the energy transition and aids in achieving net-zero goals.

The exhibition aims to showcase the UAE’s leading role in renewable energy technologies within the Middle East and North Africa. Al Tayer noted that WETEX supports the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy and the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, reinforcing Dubai’s status as a global hub for the green economy and sustainable development.

Each year, WETEX attracts thousands of companies from both the government and private sectors worldwide.
