strategy, we at F&B Group aim to create a model food ecosystem that will potentially

reshape how we produce, process, and sustain our food systems. By bringing together
innovative businesses across the entire value chain – from production and processing to

logistics and food waste management, Food Tech Valley is building an ecosystem for a
sustainable food future. Our efforts are aligned with the UAE government’s ambition to be a
world leader in the Global Food Security Index by 2051. We look forward to increased

opportunities for learning, growth and collaboration through our participation in Future Food
Forum.”
