its list of participants. The list includes thousands of local and international

exhibitors specialising in energy, water, sustainability, green technologies,

renewable and clean energy, green buildings, electric vehicles, sustainable

cities, and other vital sectors.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is organising WETEX and

DSS 2023 under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin

Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and

Ruler of Dubai, from 15th to 17th November 2023, at the Dubai World

Trade Centre.

During the exhibition, DAMAC Properties will showcase its latest

technologies, innovations, and solutions for smart buildings. DAMAC will

also highlight its efforts to incorporate best sustainable practices in its

current and future projects. These include installing Green Charger stations

across its projects in collaboration with DEWA.

DAMAC Properties uses recycling systems, sustainable irrigation systems,

energy recovery ventilation and PV solar systems. The company will also

showcase its DAMAC Lagoons community, for which DAMAC is currently

applying for a LEED gold certification, making it the first master community

in the UAE to receive the rating under the LEED Cities and Communities

Rating System.The project has adopted green and sustainable features

throughout its development phases, from design to construction and

operation. DAMAC will also present its mega project Safa One de

GRISOGONO.

“WETEX and DSS, the largest exhibition in the region in the energy, water,

green development, sustainability, and related sectors and one of the

largest specialised exhibitions worldwide, supports green and renewable

technologies, initiatives, and projects. This contributes to achieving the

Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, which maps out a comprehensive future

map for sustainable urban development in the city,'' said Saeed

Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, Founder and Chairman of

WETEX and DSS.

The people-centric Plan is focused on enhancing people’s happiness and

quality of life and reinforcing Dubai’s competitiveness. We are pleased to

have local and international real estate developers choose WETEX and

DSS as ideal platforms to support the prosperity of their businesses. The

exhibition provides them with a significant opportunity to reach thousands

of companies, exhibitors, participants, officials, and decision-makers from

around the world to make deals and build partnerships, as well as identify

market needs. This paves the way for more sustainable cities and

residential communities in the region and the world. This year’s edition of

WETEX and DSS holds special significance as it is being held a few days

before the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change

(COP 28), to be hosted by the UAE at Expo City Dubai. During this time,

the UAE will be at the centre of the world’s attention, aiming to achieve

great strides towards a brighter and more sustainable future for humanity,”

said Saeed Al Taye added.

“This year marks a significant milestone in WETEX’s journey in driving the

UAE’s sustainability goals and supporting the future vision of the UAE’s

leadership. Over time, the exhibition has developed into a platform that

gathers decision-makers in advocating environmentally adaptive practices

to position Dubai and the UAE as a global hub for a green economy.

At DAMAC Properties, we understand corporate governance responsibility

and the need to adopt sustainability and sustainable building practices in

our core business. Our participation at WETEX will showcase our energy-

efficient practices and integrated sustainable designs and principles in our

building and construction ecosystem, which will reflect our commitment to

sustainability and to a greener, more resilient future,” said Hussain Sajwani,

Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of DAMAC Properties, on

their company’s first participation in WETEX and Dubai Solar Show.
