HVACR World to be held in Dubai

UAE: HVACR World is a new exhibition to be held this year at the Dubai World Trade Centre to showcase the opportunities in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA).

The event will run from 24-27 November alongside Big 5 Global, the region’s major construction event. Supported by the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, Big 5 Global attracts over 85,000 participants and 2,800 exhibitors from over 165 countries.

According to the organiser, HVACR World will facilitate discussions on smart cities, green buildings and sustainability, supporting the region’s transition to next-generation air systems. It will spotlight the latest advancements in smart climate control, digital monitoring and next-generation refrigerant technologies.

In addition to serving as the meeting point of the HVACR industry, the event will feature dedicated content programmes promoting knowledge exchange, live product demonstrations and sector meetings.  Discussions and technical workshops will focus on energy-efficient cooling, smart HVACR systems and regulatory developments. 

“The MEASA region’s $9 trillion construction project pipeline presents significant opportunities for the HVACR industry, as both new and existing facilities increasingly demand advanced, energy-efficient climate control solutions,” said Matt Denton, president of organising company DMG events.
