The Innovation Hall will attract creative minds and innovative start-ups to display their inventions and innovations along with leading local and international companies, in smart technologies in conventional and clean energy, water, environment, and green development.
“His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai once observed, ‘Creativity and ideas can build countries and institutions. The future belongs to those who generate ideas.’ Every year, the UAE dedicates a full month to celebrate innovation and encourage all who live in our beloved country to innovate. At DEWA, we give exceptional priority to innovation in line with the National Innovation Strategy, which aims to make the UAE one of the most innovative countries in the world, and the Dubai Innovation Strategy to make Dubai the most innovative city in the world. This is achieved by adopting innovative technologies and making use of disruptive technologies to keep pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, to achieve the vision of our wise leadership to reach the government of the future,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, Founder and Chairman of WETEX.
“For the third consecutive year, DEWA has a dedicated hall for innovation at WETEX and the Dubai Solar Show. This supports our ongoing efforts to encourage innovation and motivate innovators and inventors in the UAE to develop innovative solutions in the energy, water, environment, and sustainability, as well as highlight creative ideas. The hall will feature workshops and competitions during WETEX, to discuss the challenges that face the energy sector and find innovative solutions. Global experts in the exhibition’s areas will take part in the workshops,” added Al Tayer.
Al Tayer noted that WETEX 2018 will be held less than a month before the first Solar Decathlon Middle East (SDME), which DEWA is organising from 14-29 November 2018.
