Abu Dhabi:The German Pavilion at ADIPEC 2026 is showcasing 87 companies and 202 innovations, underscoring the significant presence of German expertise at the event. This exhibition is being held from November 2nd to 5th at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi, allowing German companies to present their "made in Germany" products and services to industry leaders and visitors.
According to Emirates News Agency, Ulrike Mätje, who handles Market Information and Public Relations at VDMA, co-organizer of the German Pavilion, emphasized the UAE's importance as a key market for German companies. Mätje also noted the increasing trend of German exports to the UAE in recent years.
The German Pavilion has attracted notable visitors including Katherina Reiche, Germany's Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, and Dr. Markus Söder, Minister-President of the Free State of Bavaria. The pavilion displays a wide range of German industrial products, from pumps and valves to nuclear and renewable energy technologies.
Energy cooperation remains a foundation of the relationship between Germany and the UAE. Both countries have expressed appreciation for the growth in strategic cooperation across the energy value chain, which includes conventional and new sources such as LNG, renewables, and hydrogen.
Mätje highlighted the necessity for Germany to diversify its international market investments, moving beyond a focus on individual countries or regions. Looking forward to ADIPEC 2027, she expressed VDMA's ambition to expand the German Pavilion from 1,300 square metres to a range of 1,400 to 1,500 square metres.
