PODTECH at Middle East Energy 2026

PODTECH will be at Middle East Energy 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre from 1–3 September. It is the region's largest electrical infrastructure exhibition — three days for utilities, EPCs, manufacturers and digital-infrastructure buyers — and with a Dubai entity already in place, it is a straightforward one for us to attend.

Why This One Matters

The show sits at the join between grid, generation and the loads that cannot go down. Organisers put it at more than 35,000 attendees, 1,900 exhibitors and 150 countries, with five conferences and three co-located shows on the same floor: Energy Storage Middle East, The Battery Show and Intersolar Middle East. Transmission, distribution, renewables, storage and critical power are all in the same hall.

That mix is the point. Data centers in the Gulf are being built against the same constraints as the rest of the power system — density, redundancy, and whether the plant you specified is the plant you are actually running. Critical power is not a side topic for operators here; it is the first conversation.

What We Do

We build the monitoring and control layer underneath data center operations. Our A1 Controller collects telemetry from power, cooling and environmental sensors and puts it in one place, in real time. Alongside it, PODVIEW gives operators a view across sites rather than one rack at a time.

Most of the interesting problems are still integration problems. Building management and power management systems rarely speak the same language, and older kit on site rarely speaks anything modern at all. Our data center services team spends much of its time joining those systems together — Modbus, BACnet, SNMP and whatever else a facility happens to be running — so operators get one coherent picture instead of six partial ones.

We established a Dubai entity earlier this year specifically to support clients mobilising infrastructure across the Middle East and North Africa. That work is ongoing; Middle East Energy is where a lot of those conversations already happen in one place.

Come and Find Us

We are going to Dubai to listen as much as to talk. If you are operating colocation or hyperscale capacity in the region and are wrestling with telemetry, systems that will not talk to each other, or visibility across a growing estate, we would like to hear about it.
