Middle East Energy, the region’s most reputable and comprehensive event for the energy sector, is expecting a sharp increase in the number of international visitors on the back of increased demand when the global energy event returns kicks off in Dubai on March 7.

In terms of visitor attendance, the top countries in the list are Nigeria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, with uptake from the latter witnessing a 40% increase in the number of visitors already registered for the exhibition.

According to a research from Middle East Energy, the T&D (Transmission & Distribution) is the top product sector of interest for Saudi visitors, with automation and digitalisation the critical subject areas of interest, as the world moves to smart grid technology. 

This is followed by Renewable & Clean Energy, focusing on solar, wind, and hydrogen, which can be attributed to the countries announcement last year it would cut its carbon emissions to net-zero by 2060 and would invest more than $180 billion
