H.E. Abdulla bin Touq leads economic delegation to
Switzerland to explore best practices in the
development of food clusters
By PR News Desk 11/07/2025
H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, led an economic delegation of leading
national companies from the food and agriculture sectors to Switzerland. The visit aimed to explore global
best practices in building food innovation ecosystems, developing food clusters, and promoting research,
development, and the adoption of sustainable solutions in the food sector.
As part of the visit, the delegation participated in an event titled ‘Empowering Innovation in the Food
Sector and Building Food Clusters for a Sustainable Economic Future,’ held at the headquarters of Bühler
Group, a global leader in industrial and food solutions based in Uzwil, Switzerland. The event brought
together a distinguished group of private-sector representatives, industry experts, and decision-makers
from across the Swiss food sector and related institutions.
H.E. Bin Touq said: “The UAE has adopted an ambitious, strategic vision to develop an integrated and
pioneering model for food clusters, embedding it within the national economy. This forward-looking
approach charts a promising path that enhances economic and industrial integration across the country.
By connecting multiple sectors within the value chain – from agriculture and food manufacturing to
transportation and logistics – it drives sustainable development, boosts productivity, and advances
economic diversification. This broader impact reinforces the UAE’s position as a leading global hub for
food industries, economic activity, and advanced manufacturing.”
