Dubai is preparing to open its doors to one of the world’s most important sustainability and technology events — WETEX 2025, the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition. The 27th edition of the event will be held from September 30 to October 2 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The exhibition is being organised under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy.
The event is organised by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and will bring together 3,100 companies from 68 countries, making it one of the largest sustainability exhibitions in the region.
A Gathering of Global Innovators
WETEX 2025 will take place across 95,000 square metres of exhibition space, featuring 18 international pavilions. Each pavilion will highlight innovations in energy, water, green mobility, and sustainable development.
Among the special zones this year are the Green Mobility Zone, the Health and Safety Hub, and the Delegation Zone — all designed to encourage cooperation between government bodies, private companies, and investors from across the globe.
Experts say this year’s exhibition will be one of the most diverse and dynamic ever held, with participation from global technology firms, research institutions, and environmental organisations.
Focus on Sustainability and Clean Technology
The exhibition will showcase new projects and ideas across several key areas — including renewable energy, green hydrogen, sustainable cities, and digital transformation.
DEWA has also planned more than 135 seminars and discussion sessions during the event. Scientists, engineers, and business leaders from around the world will share their insights on how to make energy systems more efficient and environmentally friendly.
One of the highlights will be visits to DEWA’s Sustainability and Innovation Centre, located at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world. This centre demonstrates Dubai’s progress in renewable energy and innovation.
A Platform for Global Collaboration
WETEX is not only a technology showcase — it is also a place where businesses, investors, and governments come together to form partnerships. The exhibition acts as a bridge for Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G) meetings, encouraging collaboration across industries and regions.
Through this platform, companies can connect with local and international partners to explore investments, joint projects, and sustainable solutions. For many, it is a chance to meet global decision-makers and learn about future opportunities in the clean energy market.
Dubai’s Vision for a Greener Future
Dubai has always aimed to lead in sustainability and innovation. WETEX 2025 continues this tradition by showcasing how the city is moving toward a cleaner, smarter, and more energy-efficient future.
The exhibition aligns with Dubai’s long-term goals for sustainable development and supports the UAE’s vision to become a global hub for green technologies and smart solutions. It also highlights the country’s progress in reducing carbon emissions and increasing renewable energy production.
By hosting events like WETEX, Dubai sends a strong message to the world that economic growth and environmental protection can go hand in hand.
Three Days of Knowledge and Networking
For three days, participants from around the world will gather to discuss important topics such as:
Clean and renewable energy technologies
Water conservation systems
Smart city planning
Electric vehicles and green transport
Artificial intelligence in sustainability
Visitors can attend workshops, explore new inventions, and see the latest solutions that are shaping the future of global energy.
WETEX 2025 will also offer opportunities for students, researchers, and innovators to learn about real-world applications of science and technology that help protect the planet.
Strengthening the UAE’s Global Role
Events like WETEX not only promote innovation but also help the UAE strengthen its role as a leader in climate action and sustainable development. With the world facing challenges such as rising temperatures and limited water resources, the UAE’s efforts to promote renewable energy are more important than ever.
The exhibition also reflects the country’s preparation for a greener economy — one that creates new jobs, supports clean industries, and ensures a better quality of life for future generations.
Disclaimer
WETEX 2025 is more than just an exhibition; it is a symbol of progress, partnership, and purpose. As thousands of participants arrive in Dubai to share ideas and innovations, the event stands as proof of how collaboration can drive global change.
Under the guidance of the UAE’s leadership and the efforts of DEWA, WETEX continues to shape the conversation about the future of energy, environment, and sustainability.
