Wilo and Masdar Partner for Green Energy and Efficiency

Global technology leader Wilo and the UAE-based renewable energy pioneer, Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC), have announced a new cooperation agreement. This collaboration highlights their shared commitment to advancing efficiency technologies and promoting sustainable energy solutions across the region and globally.

Signing Ceremony Marks the Start of Regional Expansion

The formal agreement was signed during a ceremony attended by Hendrik Wüst, Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia. The partnership sets the foundation for closer collaboration between the two entities, particularly in the Middle East, with aspirations to broaden their impact beyond regional borders.

“The cooperation agreement, as the beginning of the partnership, symbolically shows what the response to the global energy shortage must look like. We need the expansion of renewable energy generation on the one hand and the expansion of energy efficiency initiatives on the other. Only if we think about the supply and demand sides together can the ambitious energy transitions succeed worldwide,” explains Oliver Hermes, President and CEO of the Wilo Group. “The great challenges of our time can only be overcome together. We therefore firmly believe in the power of strong partnerships, such as between Wilo and Masdar.”

“This agreement unites two organizations with complementary strengths, delivering powerful synergies for our customers and communities, and embodying our vision for a cleaner, more efficient world. It promises the advent of innovative, seamlessly integrated solutions, with Masdar supplying our green energy expertise and Wilo leveraging its cutting-edge cooling and heating technologies and manufacturing capabilities. This partnership will also strengthen our links with Germany – a vital market for us and a key focus of our investment strategy,” says Husain Al Meer, Director Global Offshore Wind & UK at Masdar.

Dubai Facility Hosts High-Level Delegation

The event took place at Wilo Group’s newly expanded production facility in Dubai. The visit was part of a four-day tour through Qatar and the UAE by the German delegation, led by Minister-President Wüst, aimed at strengthening economic ties and exploring strategic partnerships in innovation and sustainability.

“As an international technology company with strong roots in North Rhine-Westphalia, Wilo is an example of the transformation of our industry. Where coal used to be mined, solutions for sustainable water supply and energy-efficient technology are now being developed – in Dortmund as well as in Dubai. With the expansion of its location in the UAE, Wilo impressively demonstrates how climate-friendly innovations from North Rhine-Westphalia offer solutions for the future worldwide. We need this strength to make North Rhine-Westphalia the first climate-neutral industrial region in Europe,” says Hendrik Wüst.
