The theme of Middle East Electricity 2017 is smart cities, as the show is hosted by the Ministry of Energy and in partnership with Dubai Municipality.

A new feature for 2017 show is the ?Smart Cities Innovation Zone?. Located in Zabeel Hall 3, this dedicated area will feature the region's major players showcasing their latest advancements in smart technology via an interactive seminar space on the show floor. 

SME is running alongside MEE as the region?s largest event dedicated to the solar industry.

Ninety-eight percent of visitors last year say that it is now essential or important to their business. Solar Middle East will also feature its own conference programme, ?The Solar Agenda?, technical seminars and CPD certified professional workshops, whereby attendees can earn actual CPD points towards their accreditation.?
