The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, is set to take part in the Arab Social Media Summit 2016 as a Sustainability Partner. The summit is being held from 13th-14th of December, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Arab Social Media Summit is the world’s largest event for Arab social media influencers, and is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. The event will bring together prominent social media experts and will act as a platform to support efforts to use social media to serve society.

"We are pleased that DEWA is the Sustainability Partner of the Arab Social Media Summit 2016. This supports our role as a socially-responsible government organisation," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA.

"The Arab Social Media Summit reiterates the futuristic vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to shape the future and provide innovative solutions to serve the people. The summit has become the most prominent event in the region to highlight best successful practices in using social media channels. It is also a platform that brings together pioneers of social media and gives them the opportunity to show the initiatives and projects that enhance positive communications with society by harnessing the power of social media, especially in light of its rapid development and increasing spread day after day," he said.

"The summit emphasises the importance of tapping into the expertise and successful and constructive experiences of Arab youth, who use social media the most. Young people can employ these successful examples to serve their countries by effectively employing these modern media and sharing their knowledge and experiences with their peers in the Arab World," Al Tayer added.
