S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Brazilian pavilion at WETEX<\/a> 2018, the energy, water, technology and environment exhibition in Dubai, is hosting four Brazilian companies: Ambev\u2019s AMA, for mineral water, the state-owned Energy Research Office (EPE), Hytron, for energy and gases, and Kanaflex, a pipes and plastics manufacturer. This is the first time that the event in the United Arab Emirates features a Brazilian pavilion, which was organized by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong>. The event is an initiative of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). It began this Tuesday (23) and runs until Thursday (25) at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.<\/p>\n

According to the Arab Chamber\u2019s International Business Executive Rafael Solimeo the participation in the exhibition is important to diversify business between Brazilians and Arabs and to attract investments from the region to energy industry companies and startups.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fair is organized by Dubai\u2019s government. It\u2019s very professional and the number of visitors has been great. We believe that Brazil is able to make a difference in this sector, since we hold renewable energy technologies and the Arabs have investment capacity for them,\u201d said Solimeo.<\/p>\n

Kanaflex<\/a>\u2019s Exports Manager, Douglas Campos, told ANBA that, in the fair\u2019s first day, he had already made promising contacts and that he should be able to strike some deals soon. This is the first time that the polyethylene pipes and PVC industrial hoses manufacturer attends the exhibition. \u201cWe once attended the Big 5 in 2009, but we still haven\u2019t exported to an Arab country. We expect to begin selling to this region starting with this event,\u201d he said. Big 5 is the construction industry trade expo that takes place in Dubai every year.<\/p>\n

According to him, they\u2019re focused on selling the polyethylene, manufactured according to domestic and international standards. \u201cWe manufacture pipes for the underground network protection, protecting phone underground cables, optical fiber, electrical cables, fuel gas and pressurized water,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The Energy Research Office (EPE)<\/a> is a state-owned company that answers to the Ministry of Mining and Energy (MME) and does research in the sectors of electrical energy, oil and natural gas and products and biofuels. It was founded with the aim to restore the government\u2019s responsibility of ensuring the basis for the sustainable development of the country\u2019s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Ambev\u2019s mineral water company\u00a0AMA<\/a> has 100% of its profits forwarded to projects for drinking water access in the Brazilian semiarid region, and Hytron<\/a> offers technological solutions for the energy and industrial gases industry.<\/p>\n
