The State of Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity is taking a delegation of 4 companies to exhibit at WETEX 2018 in Dubai.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) organises the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) annually, under the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance and President of DEWA. The 20th WETEX will be held from 23-25 October 2018 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
