DUBAI, UAE, 7 October 2019: The second edition of HVAC R Expo will take place from November 25 to 28 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, dmg events, the organisers, said through a Press release.

According to the release, there are growth opportunities for HVACR stakeholders in the Middle East market, with GCC region investments in HVACR systems estimated to exceed USD 68 billion over the next decade, as per a recent report published by HVAC R Expo and MEED Projects.

Elaborating on the report, Josine Heijmans, Portfolio Director, dmg events, said: “The UAE alone represents 31% of the total needed investments for HVAC R solutions in the GCC over the next 10 years, and as demand increases we can expect the market to develop, in line with government goals, such as energy conservation and smart initiatives.”

According to the release, HVAC R Expo will be co-located with The Big 5 construction exhibition, once again this year. Featuring five more co-located shows alongside HVAC R Expo, The Big 5 will offer 360-degree building solutions from inception to completion for construction professionals in the region, the release said.

“With HVAC R components being a key element in the region’s construction projects, it is important for us to continue to include the Expo alongside The Big 5,” Heijmans said. “Similarly, and with this latest market update, it is an unmissable opportunity for the industry to network and do business with industry professionals from all around the world and explore the latest innovations and technologies across the four show days.”

According to the release, products on display at HVAC R Expo will relate to climate control, air quality and ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and heating, HVAC equipment and services, and building automation. Industry heavyweights already signed up to exhibit include the likes of SKM, Fawaz and Zamil, the release said.

Hassan Younes, President of the Chapter, said: “We expect to see government representatives, consultants, contractors, owners, suppliers and manufacturers all in one forum at HVAC R Expo.

To capitalise on the diversity of industry professionals expected to attend, HVAC R Expo will also host the HVAC Pioneers’ Summit, the release said, adding that visitors can profit from the free-to-attend and certified HVAC R Talks on offer.

At its launch edition, in 2018, HVAC R Expo welcomed over 11,000 visitors that met and did business with 200-plus exhibitors from 21 exhibiting countries, the release quoted the organisers as claiming.
