Food’s next massive growth curve will be digital - with ‘AI in Food’ sector heading toward a US$ 29.4 billion market by 2026, and the World Food Programme’s accelerator programme funneling US$ 323 million into breakthrough innovations.

The first-ever Gulfood AI distills that momentum into one global arena – putting AI, robotics, data, alternative proteins and next-gen packaging side-by-side with investors and buyers hungry for innovation, at scale.

Why Now?

By 2050, the world must feed 10 billion people sustainably. Gulfood AI exists to accelerate that mission, with intelligence.

Gulfood AI stands as the ultimate convergence point where the global food ecosystem comes alive. Exhibitors engage with an elite mix of buyers—major retailers, influential distributors, foodservice pioneers, and innovative start-ups—creating a dynamic environment ripe for high-impact business. The event’s unparalleled scale and diversity ensure every participant connects with key decision-makers driving the future of food worldwide.
