ISLAMABAD: Five Pakistani companies are showcasing energy technologies and infrastructure solutions at a major industry exhibition in Dubai this week, as Islamabad seeks new business opportunities and international partnerships for its energy sector.

The companies are exhibiting at the Pakistan Pavilion at Middle East Energy 2026, being held at the Dubai World Trade Center from Sept. 1-3. The expo brings together more than 35,000 energy professionals and attendees, 1,900 international exhibitors and participants from over 150 countries, providing Pakistani companies access to potential buyers and partners from across the global energy industry, according to a statement issued by Pakistan’s consulate in Dubai on Tuesday.

The Pakistan Pavilion, organized under the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan, features companies working across power generation, electricity grids and transmission, energy storage and energy management, the statement said.

“The participation of five Pakistani companies under TDAP at this prestigious international exhibition provides an important opportunity to showcase Pakistan’s capabilities in smart energy solutions, renewable technologies, and power infrastructure,” Pakistan’s Consul General in Dubai Hussain Muhammad said in the statement.

Muhammad said participation in international exhibitions could help Pakistani companies explore new business opportunities, establish connections with global partners and strengthen their presence in overseas markets.

He said the products displayed at the pavilion demonstrated Pakistan’s potential to compete in the international energy sector.

Pakistan has been seeking to expand exports and attract investment as it modernizes an energy sector struggling with high costs, aging infrastructure and persistent financial pressures.

Renewable energy and improvements to electricity transmission and storage have become increasingly important as the country works to reduce dependence on imported fuels and accommodate new generation capacity.
