Furthermore, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects the number of electric cars on the road to increase from 11 million in 2020 to 145 million by 2030.

As we indulge in organizing the various aspect of EVIS2023, we feel really overwhelmed because we are ushering the new future of sustainabile transportation and doing a huge service to the environment and climate change. The number of exhibitors, delegates, participating countries, attendants, and speakers in the event stand as a solid evidence of the urgent need for e-mobility today and into the future.”
    The summit will present an excellent opportunity for manufacturers to launch their latest EV innovations. Attendees will witness several product launches from various manufacturers, who will debut their latest innovations at the exhibition.
    Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to test-drive the latest EV models themselves at the outdoor test drive. This unique feature will give the public a chance to experience the new technology first-hand and learn more about the benefits of EVs.
    Technology Park is another exciting element of EVIS2023. It is an innovation area that will display the latest technologies in e-mobility. It will showcase the EV innovations of two sectors: universities and technology incubators. Attendees will be able to witness the latest technologies from universities and technology incubators and learn how these technologies can help shape the future of the EV industry.
    The event draws growing local interest and support as it comes within the UAE’s Year of Sustainability which witnesses several initiatives and events, in addition to the fact that the UAE is getting ready to host the COP28 on Climate Change later this year.
