For the third consecutive year, the Water, Energy, and Environment Technology Exhibition (WETEX) is dedicating a special area for real estate development companies that focus on sustainable cities and green buildings.
The 27th edition of WETEX will showcase significant participation and sponsorship from major national and international companies that have recorded groundbreaking success stories in the construction and development of green buildings designed with environmental considerations. These projects ensure the highest standards of comfort and quality of life for their residents within a healthy and sustainable environment.
Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Prime Minister, and under the supervision of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is organizing the 27th WETEX from September 30 to October 2, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Center.
Urban Areas
According to Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA and Founder of WETEX, “WETEX supports Dubai’s Urban Plan 2040 and enhances the UAE’s leadership in adopting sustainable city concepts.” He noted that with United Nations reports indicating that 60% of the global population is expected to live in urban areas by 2030, the exhibition boosts the region’s efforts to keep pace with these trends through ambitious investments in smart and sustainable urban development.
“We are eager to attract local and global partners interested in investing in the cities of the future, to exchange the latest innovative and sustainable solutions and technologies to redefine urban living concepts, enhance sustainable real estate, and green buildings in Dubai and worldwide, ensuring a more resilient and sustainable future,” he added.
