  its third consecutive year at the Water, Energy,

  is one of the event's key attractions. Let me
• 0:12
  begin with the official text. Under the directives

  Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of
• 0:21
  the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the patronage

  Dubai Electricity and Water Authority is organising

  the 28th edition of the Water, Energy, Technology
• 0:39
  and Environment Exhibition from 20th to 22nd

  And the statement from His Excellency Saeed Mohammed

  Exhibition. He said, while advancing our global
• 1:25
  ambitions and contributing to a greener and more
• 1:28
  sustainable future for generations to come. The
• 1:31
  Green Mobility Hall helps drive the adoption
• 1:34
  and development of global solutions, practices
• 1:36
  and initiatives aimed at reducing emissions in
• 1:40
  the transport sector and shaping the future of
• 1:42
  green mobility by leveraging the latest technologies
• 1:45
  in artificial intelligence, hydrogen and low
• 1:48
  or zero carbon fuels. Very briefly. What does
• 1:53
  the hall present? The latest innovations and
• 1:56
  technologies for sustainable mobility across
• 1:58
  land, sea and air for individual and public transport.
• 2:03
  Government, semi -government and private sector
• 2:06
  organisations plus academic and research institutions

  will exchange knowledge and forge partnerships
• 2:12
  to drive innovation, enhance user experience,
• 2:15
  reduce costs and optimise energy and resource
• 2:19
  use. The market figures support this. The UAE
• 2:23
  is the Middle East's top market for electric
• 2:25
  vehicle sales for the second consecutive year,

  according to the International Energy Agency's
• 2:31
  Global EV Outlook 2026 report, accounting for
• 2:36
  nearly 50 % of all EV sales across the region.

  Water Authority's EV Green Charger Initiative,
• 2:46

• 2:51
  across Dubai by the end of the third quarter
