How much does a WETEX stand cost in Dubai?

Custom WETEX stand design and build with SOL Dubai starts from AED 1,650 per square metre. The final price depends on the size of your space, whether you choose single-storey or double-decker, the weight and power requirements of the product you are staging, and your AV and branding needs — energy hardware often needs engineered mounting and dedicated power, which factors into the build. We provide a fixed, fully itemised quotation after understanding your products and objectives. Because we design and build in-house, the figure you approve is the figure you pay, and we can offer reusable build options that support both your budget and your sustainability message across future editions.

Can you build sustainable, reusable stands for WETEX?

Yes, and at a sustainability-focused show it often makes sense. Where the brief allows, we build with reusable modular and custom structures rather than single-use elements, use energy-efficient LED lighting throughout, and choose clean finishes that present your technical product well without looking wasteful. A reusable build can be re-skinned and reconfigured for future WETEX editions or other shows, which supports both your budget and the sustainability story your brand is at WETEX to tell. We will advise honestly on where reusable construction genuinely helps and where a fully custom build serves your objectives better.

Can you stage heavy energy and water equipment safely?

Yes. Energy and water exhibitors frequently bring heavy, powered hardware — panels, inverters, pumps, transformers, storage units — and these need proper engineering, not improvisation. We design load-bearing plinths and mounting for heavy product, build in correctly rated power and cable management for live demonstrations, and document the structural and electrical elements for DWTC approval. We also stage the product so that complex systems are clear and understandable to utility and EPC buyers, with comfortable meeting space nearby for the detailed, project-led conversations this sector runs on. All of it is planned at the design stage so the stand is safe and show-ready from the first morning.

How tall can my WETEX 2027 stand be, and do I need structural approval?

Standard custom builds work to around 4m. Taller builds and complex structures — double-deckers, long spans, or stands where the travel distance to an exit exceeds 10m — need structural-engineer clearance through DWTC’s Organiser+ portal before your Permit to Build is released. We prepare and submit the full package in-house.

Who handles the Dubai World Trade Centre permits and approvals?

We do, start to finish. Every stand at DWTC needs a Stand Permit to Build, and complex or double-deck stands need structural calculations cleared by the DWTC engineer first. We prepare the drawings, submit on Organiser+ and manage the approval so you don’t deal with the venue’s technical desk.

Can I get power and 24-hour supply for my stand?

All mains power at DWTC is supplied by the venue’s official Electrical Contractor and ordered in advance — you can’t self-wire mains. We design the scheme and order it, including 24-hour supply for fridges, screens or demos.

Can I hang a banner or lighting rig above my stand?

Yes, but suspended rigging is subject to venue approval and load limits and must be ordered ahead of tenancy. We design within the limits and file the rigging order on time so it’s approved without a last-minute surcharge.

How much does a WETEX 2027 stand cost?

A full-service WETEX 2027 stand starts from AED 950/sqm for a modular build, AED 1,650/sqm for a bespoke custom stand, and AED 2,400/sqm and up for large or double-decker builds. Every quote is fixed and all-inclusive with a free 3D concept.

When is WETEX 2027 and how early should I book?

WETEX 2027 returns in 2027 (exact dates to be confirmed). Because the best stand positions and production slots go early, we recommend starting 8–14 weeks ahead — earlier for a large or double-decker build.

What’s included in a full-service WETEX 2027 stand?

Everything to get you show-ready on one quote: custom 3D design, in-house fabrication and pre-build approval, full graphics, delivery to Dubai World Trade Centre, install and dismantle, the DWTC Permit to Build and H&S paperwork, electrical and rigging ordered on your behalf, and a dedicated project manager.

Do you build double-decker stands at Dubai World Trade Centre?

Yes — double-deckers are a specialism. A two-storey stand roughly adds 1.5 times your usable space with an upstairs lounge or meeting floor, and needs certified structural calculations, a displayed maximum-occupancy figure and code-compliant staircases (a Double-Deck H&S form and DWTC structural sign-off). We engineer, certify and build it in-house.

Do you provide on-site support during WETEX 2027?

Yes. Our team is on call across all show days for anything from a graphic touch-up to an electrical or AV fix, and larger stands get a dedicated on-site project lead.

What happens to the stand after WETEX 2027?

We dismantle and clear the space, and can store reusable elements for your next edition and refresh the graphics — so you’re not paying to rebuild from scratch each year.

WETEX 2027 at a glance

WETEX — the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition — is organised annually by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) at the Dubai World Trade Centre, and is the largest sustainability event of its kind in the region. It is co-located with the Dubai Solar Show and runs alongside the World Green Economy Summit. The 2026 edition ran from 20 to 22 October; WETEX 2027 is expected to follow the same September/October cadence at DWTC, with exact dates confirmed by DEWA closer to the event.

The show brings together roughly 3,000-plus exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors across water, energy, renewables, green building, sustainability and environmental technology. Exhibitors span utilities, government bodies, EPC contractors, solar and storage manufacturers, water-tech companies and sustainability consultancies from across the world.

For energy, water and clean-tech brands, WETEX is the regional platform to reach utility buyers, government decision-makers and project developers in one place. SOL Dubai designs and builds at DWTC and knows the venue and approval process for this show.

What a WETEX stand needs to convey

Sustainability is the language of WETEX, and your stand is part of the message. Buyers and government visitors notice when a stand built around clean energy looks wasteful, over-lit or disposable. Stands that use efficient LED lighting, reusable and recyclable structures and a clean, considered aesthetic carry more credibility in this audience than sheer scale alone.

Beyond the look, a WETEX stand has to make complex technical products understandable. Utilities and EPC buyers want to see how a transformer, panel, pump or storage system actually works and integrates. The strongest stands combine clear product demonstration with comfortable space for the longer, technical, project-led conversations this sector runs on.

Our WETEX stand build process

Every WETEX project runs through our disciplined eight-stage process so the build is predictable from brief to dismantling:

Discovery and brief — we map your products, demonstration and power needs, meeting requirements and budget, and confirm hall, stand number and dimensions at DWTC.
Concept and 3D design — photorealistic visuals and a floor plan balancing product demonstration, branding and meeting space.
Costing and approval — a fixed, fully itemised quotation with no hidden extras.
Venue approvals and technical drawings — structural, electrical and rigging submissions prepared for DWTC approval.
Fabrication in our Dubai workshop — structure, joinery, product plinths and branding built and quality-checked in-house.
Pre-build and QA — trial assembly, graphics fitting and electrical and AV testing before shipping.
On-site installation — supervised build during official build-up, handed over show-ready.
Show-day support and dismantling — standby team on call, then clean dismantling and clearance.

Materials and construction

We build WETEX stands with sustainability credibility in mind: reusable modular and custom structures rather than single-use builds where the brief allows, energy-efficient LED lighting throughout, and clean finishes that present technical product well. Timber-framed custom walls give a seamless branded surface, while laminates and solid-surface counters provide a durable, professional finish.

Heavy or powered product — panels, inverters, pumps, storage units — is mounted on engineered plinths with correctly rated power and cable management designed in. Raised platform flooring conceals services, tension-fabric and acrylic lightboxes carry branding cleanly, and the overall material palette is chosen to reinforce, not undercut, a sustainability message.

Energy and sustainability stand requirements

Energy and water exhibitors bring specific needs: reliable, correctly rated power for live equipment; sturdy mounting and load-bearing plinths for heavy hardware; clear technical display so complex systems are understandable; and space for the detailed, project-led discussions utilities and EPC buyers expect. Government and ministry visitors also value a credible, well-presented stand that reflects the seriousness of the sector.

We design for all of this — engineered mounting for heavy product, dedicated demonstration power, clear product staging and comfortable meeting areas — while keeping the build itself efficient and, where the brief calls for it, reusable across future editions to support both your budget and your sustainability story.

Stand options and pricing

We build every WETEX format. Upgraded shell-scheme packages suit smaller exhibitors who need clean branding, lighting and a product counter. Custom single-storey stands give you a bespoke layout with product plinths, demonstration areas and meeting space. Double-decker stands let major utilities, manufacturers and pavilions add an upstairs meeting or hospitality floor above an open product showcase.

Custom WETEX stand design and build starts from AED 1,650 per square metre, with the final figure shaped by size, structure, the weight and power needs of your product, AV and branding. Every quotation is fixed and itemised, and full-service delivery gives you one accountable team from concept through dismantling — with reusable build options available to support your sustainability and budget goals.
