Water Energy Technology Environment Exhibition - WETEX 2014

The 15th Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) 2013 hosted 1,360 exhibitors from 32 countries and approximately 15,800 visitors. The largest regional event of its kind, it aims to attract over 1,500 exhibitors from 40 countries in 2014. The 16th WETEX 2014 supports this strategy, and its theme is ‘At the forefront of sustainability.’ WETEX is focused on various sectors and segments with a wide variety of displays, seminars and technologies with insights from international experts from around the world.

WETEX has featured a range of green initiatives, which DEWA and other organisations are committed to, at SmarTech. In support of the UAE strategy for green development, which focuses on the promotion and development of green technologies, SmarTech offers a great opportunity to demonstrate Dubai’s commitment to reducing waste and protecting our environment from pollution. Perhaps our most significant milestone to date has been the announcement by DEWA, under the umbrella of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. This park will feature a range of solar energy technologies, including photovoltaic and concentrated solar power systems, which will provide up to 1,000 MW of renewable energy for the Emirate of Dubai.
