Many Gulf countries will also be sending important represents such as the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Water and Electricity. Visitors will meet more than 600 international and regional specialist firms at the exhibition from 50 countries. This includes some of the largest national groups to be present at any of the Gulf region's major trade fairs, such as the UK with over 100 companies represented. Country pavilions from 12 countries will be taking part at Intersec including the USA, Germany, Italy, Austria, Canada, Scandinavia, Korea, Taiwan, HongKong, Singapore and China.
