NET ZERO MEA - Solar & Energy Storage Summit Dubai

The NET ZERO MEA – Solar & Energy Storage Summit is the leading trade fair and strategic conference driving the energy transition across the Middle East and Africa (MEA region). Its name reflects a clear mission: achieving full decarbonisation of energy systems – "Net Zero" – in one of the world’s most dynamic growth markets. Held annually at the Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf in Dubai, the summit brings together international decision-makers, project developers, investors, and technology providers at a key hub of global energy and innovation.

The event is organised by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd., a seasoned player in the global energy sector. Leveraging a broad international network, SMM connects markets across industries. The NET ZERO MEA Summit is part of SMM’s global portfolio of energy events, which focus on strategic dialogue and technological progress in the solar and energy storage sectors.

At the heart of the summit are the critical issues shaping the regional energy transition: cutting-edge solar technologies, advanced energy storage systems, intelligent grid integration, and forward-looking investment and financing strategies. The agenda also explores the policy and regulatory frameworks that are currently influencing – and will continue to shape – MEA’s energy markets. Special emphasis is placed on utility-scale projects, green hydrogen integration, and the localisation of energy system manufacturing.

Exhibitors showcase tangible solutions and services across the entire value chain – from photovoltaic modules and storage technologies to control systems, grid connectivity, data centre infrastructure, green hydrogen production, and financing models such as green bonds and Islamic finance instruments. This is not a showcase of abstract visions but of technically sound, economically viable projects with real investment potential.

The event attracts a high-level professional audience, including utilities, project developers, EPCs, banks, sovereign wealth funds, government agencies, data centre operators, and industrial players – especially those in renewables, infrastructure, IT, and finance. Through targeted networking platforms, curated one-to-one meetings, and panel discussions featuring industry leaders, the summit fosters real partnerships and actionable business opportunities – not just casual networking, but structured, results-oriented engagement.

Dubai is widely recognised as a global innovation hub for the energy sector and a strategic investment gateway between Europe, Asia, and Africa. The UAE’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 gives the summit both local relevance and broader geopolitical significance.

Ideally located just minutes from Dubai International Airport and well connected to the city centre, the Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf offers state-of-the-art conference facilities, premium infrastructure, and close proximity to leading energy institutions – making it a fitting venue for a forward-looking event of this scale.

The NET ZERO MEA – Solar & Energy Storage Summit is more than a trade fair – it is an annual catalyst for real-world energy projects, regional development, and international collaboration, right at the heart of one of the most pivotal markets shaping the future of global energy.

The NET ZERO MEA - Solar & Energy Storage Summit will take place on 2 days from Monday, 06. April to Tuesday, 07. April 2026 in Dubai.
