France Showcases Green Tech Leadership at WETEX 2025

United Arab Emirates, Dubai, September 22, 2025 – France is reaffirming its role as a key innovation partner at WETEX 2025, the leading exhibition platform for water, energy, and environmental technologies. From September 30 to October 2,13 innovative companies, including 9 first-time exhibitors, will gather under the French Pavilion, organized by Business France, to present groundbreaking solutions for water efficiency, renewable energy, and climate resilience.

This year’s delegation brings together French excellence in water sustainability, smart energy systems, and climate resilience, aligned with the UAE’s bold targets for Net Zero by 2050 and the Water Security Strategy 2036.

“WETEX offers unmatched access to the region’s key decision-makers and project developers. France’s delegation reflects not just innovation, but long-term commitment to helping the Gulf build a sustainable, high-performance future,” said Axel Baroux, Managing Director of Business France for the Near & Middle East

Driving the UAE’ Vision for Sustainability

The UAE is investing over AED 200 billion by 2030 to meet growing demand for sustainable energy, while ensuring water security amid rising climate pressures. The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has outlined ambitious goals such as reducing water demand by 21%, reusing 95% of treated water and lowering the water scarcity index by 3 points by 2036.

These efforts are embedded in broader national agendas such as Emiratization, talent retention, and knowledge transfer, aiming to build sovereign capabilities across energy and environmental sectors.

French companies, known for their leadership in decarbonization, waste-to-energy, and AI-powered environmental monitoring, are natural partners in this transition.

With world-renowned expertise in clean energy and environmental innovation, France stands out as a key partner in the UAE’s sustainability journey. By delivering innovations that directly support national ambitions in water security, energy efficiency, and climate resilience across the Gulf region, French companies are making a tangible contribution to the UAE’s future. WETEX, organized annually by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), provides the ideal global platform to highlight these solutions and accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable economy.
