Message by HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Founder and Chairman of WETEX
Under the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the patronage of HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) continues its pioneering journey as a global platform that brings together industry leaders, decision-makers, investors, experts and innovators from around the world. The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to review the latest solutions and innovations in diverse fields, including renewable and clean energy, water, environment, sustainability and smart technologies.
The 27th edition of WETEX in 2025 attracted 3,100 companies from 65 countries and hosted 18 international pavilions, in addition to 68 sponsors and 18 partners and supporters. Covering an area of 95,000 square metres, the exhibition welcomed over 50,000 visitors from around the world. This international momentum reflects the great confidence that WETEX enjoys as the largest event of its kind in the region and one of the most prominent specialised global exhibitions. It continues to serve as a vital driver for fostering strategic partnerships that help shape the future of energy and sustainability regionally and globally.
WETEX embodies Dubai's ambitious vision to build a green economy driven by innovation and knowledge. It also serves as a key platform supporting the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, which aim to provide 100% of the emirate’s total power capacity from clean sources by mid-century. Through its role as a catalyst for public-private co-operation, WETEX has become an ideal destination for launching sustainable solutions and exploring investment opportunities in future technologies and clean energy.
I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all WETEX partners, sponsors and visitors for their active role in the continued success of this global event and in reinforcing its position as a beacon that unites creative minds and bold ambitions under one roof. I invite you to participate in WETEX 2026, so that together we can continue our journey of excellence and innovation, and move confidently towards a brighter and more sustainable future for us and for generations to come.
