WETEX reinforces UAE's regional leadership in sustainable urban development
For the third year in a row, the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) will feature a dedicated space for real estate developers championing sustainable cities. The 27th edition of WETEX brings together leading national and international companies whose pioneering projects have set global benchmarks in green construction and buildings. These environmentally conscious developments are designed to enhance residents’ well-being and quality of life within healthy, sustainable communities.
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, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) organises the 27th WETEX, from 30 September to 2 October 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
WETEX is one of the world’s leading – and the region's largest – specialised exhibitions, encompassing a broad range of sectors, including energy, water, clean and renewable technologies, sustainable cities, sustainability, decarbonisation, green hydrogen, digital transformation, cyber security, artificial intelligence (AI) and other related sectors.
“WETEX supports Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the UAE’s regional and global pioneering position in adopting the concept of sustainable cities. Considering that by 2030, according to the UN, about 60 per cent of people will live in urban areas, the exhibition supports regional efforts to embrace these trends by promoting ambitious investments in smart and sustainable urban development. We are delighted that WETEX draws both our local and international partners, all eager to invest in the cities of the future and to exchange the latest and most innovative sustainable solutions and technologies shaping urban life. This dynamic collaboration fosters the advancement of sustainable real estate and green buildings – not only in Dubai but globally, paving the way for a more resilient, environmentally friendly and sustainable future,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA and Founder and Chairman of WETEX.
WETEX 2025 will feature premier sponsor OMNIYAT Group, titanium sponsor Binghatti, titanium sponsor DAMAC Properties and Ellington Properties, alongside prominent local and internation experts, decision makers, investors and companies. Together, they will showcase cutting-edge solutions and projects aimed at advancing sustainability in the real estate sector and accelerating the development of smart, sustainable cities. These cities integrate urban environmental standards that strike a balance between economic growth and sustainable resource use, enhancing resilience to social, environmental and economic challenges.
Mahdi Amjad, founder and Executive Chairman of OMNIYAT Group, said: “We are honoured to be the premier sponsor of WETEX this year, standing alongside DEWA in reflecting our shared vision for a more sustainable and innovative future. Sustainability is embedded in our ethos and every project is an opportunity to build responsibly.

We are committed to integrating energy-efficient systems, embracing innovative technologies and applying the latest innovations and construction practices across our many projects. WETEX is a platform that celebrates forward-thinking solutions across industries, and we are proud to participate, learn and contribute to this important dialogue.”
Muhammad BinGhatti, The Chairman of Binghatti, said: “As a titanium sponsor of WETEX 2025, we greatly value our partnership with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, which turns vision into action. At Binghatti, we channel our expertise in project development to advance the sustainability agenda through intelligent design, advanced energy and water management, and digital operations that minimize waste and improve efficiency. The true strength of WETEX lies in uniting decision-makers, technology leaders, and developers on one platform to create actionable partnerships with measurable economic and social impact. This not only strengthens Dubai’s position as a global hub for responsible innovation but also drives Dubai towards a greener, more sustainable way of living."
Hussain Sajwani, founder and Chairman of DAMAC Properties, said: “As a long-time supporter of the region’s largest sustainability and clean energy technology exhibition, DAMAC Properties fully aligns with WETEX’s mission to prioritise sustainability and champion environmentally adaptive practices while developing and integrating smart technologies. We encourage enterprising companies to share best practices and leverage this platform to create a circular economy and pave the way for a more eco-conscious, resilient future.”
