TPT November 2008

D ubai is

fast becoming known as the centre of innovation and engineering, with projects including the breathtaking Palm Deira island and recently announced plans for the 1km high Nakheel tower. Already regarded as a haven for business and industry, the United Arab Emirates has clearly affirmed its aim to become the high-tech destination of the future. With such lofty ambitions to partner the already excellent facilities and hospitality, Dubai was always going to be an ideal location for a major tube and pipe exhibition. The first Tube Arabia held two years ago was a notable success, with over 110 exhibitors and a large number of visitors from the Middle East, Europe and China. Tube Arabia will take place for the second time from 10-13 January 2009 in halls 3 and 4 of the Dubai international exhibition centre. It will again be joined by the established 9 th Tekno event, which is geared towards the region’s machinery, metalworking and machine tools industry.

The event will occupy a total exhibit space of over 9,000m 2 with expectations of more than 350 exhibitors from 28 countries. It is clear that against such a backdrop of lucrative business and ingenuity, Tekno/Tube Arabia will serve as a powerful platform for the demonstration of an impressive range of tube and pipe products and machinery.
