KNOWLEDGE FOCUS
The show also maintains its focus on industry knowledge and the exchange of ideas for food-related sectors and this year’s edition will further the cause with the introduction of two new conferences — the World Food Security Summit and the Halal Heroes Conference, which will be held on the sidelines of the event.
Addressing the universal challenge of securing a stable, cost-effective and safe supply of food for the world’s growing population, the World Food Security Summit, which will be held from February 23-24 at the Conrad Dubai, will be the first international conference in the region focused on world food security and will be attended by ministers, government officials, policy makers, and regional and international corporate leaders.
The event has been designed for senior industry professionals to explore strategies that encourage alliances and initiatives to tackle the challenges the food future holds.

With Muslim populations expected to account for 30% of the global population by 2025 and halal food products already accounting for more than 12% of the global food market — generating an estimated US $640 billion per annum — the Halal Heroes conference will dissect the sector’s considerable growth opportunities for the global food and beverage industry.
The Food Franchising workshop on February 25 will address the growing trend in the region with industry veterans reviewing decision-making challenges as well as trends and opportunities when dealing with a franchise. Topics of discussion at the event will vary from performance measurement guides to marketing strategies and franchise litigation in the UAE.
With a packed agenda, and busier event floor than ever before, Gulfood is set to offer a 360-degree view of the F&B industry.
