EVLife is a media partner of EV World 2026, the first Dubai International Electric Vehicle Exhibition and Conference. The event runs at Dubai World Trade Centre from 10 to 12 November.
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is organising the inaugural event. Its theme is “Driving a Smart and Sustainable Mobility Future”. As media partner, EVLife will bring readers coverage of the exhibition and its conference programme.
What’s on show?
Organisers expect more than 300 local and international companies, authorities and organisations to exhibit. Stands will cover EV manufacturing, battery management systems, hydrogen fuel cells and fast-charging technology. The show also takes in electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), drones and autonomous systems. In addition, over 30 business partners from sustainable transport and autonomous vehicle software are taking part. The RTA expects more than 10,000 specialist visitors across the three days.
Who’s speaking at the conference?
The conference will host more than 70 speakers. Announced names include senior figures from BMW Group Middle East, Volvo Cars Middle East and Kia Middle East and Africa. Alongside panel discussions, the programme includes technical workshops, hands-on demonstrations and a hackathon.
Why is Dubai hosting it?
EV World supports the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy, Dubai Clean Energy Strategy and UAE Net Zero Strategy 2050. It also puts a focus on circular economy projects, particularly EV battery recycling.
Electric vehicles make up 19 per cent of Dubai’s taxi and limousine fleet, ahead of the 2026 target. Meanwhile, the emirate’s public charging network had 2,223 charging points by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
How can you attend?
Visitor registration and exhibitor stand bookings are open on the EV World website. The exhibition runs from 10am to 6pm each day.
