At the Future Food Forum 2026, the UAE Food Cluster, in partnership with GS1, will announce the National Food Catalogue, supporting efficient standardisation, traceability and collaboration across the UAE food ecosystem.
The Forum will also unveil national initiatives and partnerships designed to strengthen productivity, competitiveness and market access across the UAE’s food sector. These include a partnership between the UAE Food Cluster and Majra, the UAE’s National CSR Fund, to help smaller producers scale and reach wider markets.
“The initiatives announced at Future Food Forum 2026, from digital infrastructure and traceability tools to partnerships that support entrepreneurs, reflect the UAE’s commitment to building a more productive, resilient and future-ready food ecosystem,” stated Saleh Lootah, Chairman, UAE Food Cluster and UAE Food and Beverages Manufacturers Group.
