The demand for Western quality products is increasing rapidly, especially luxury products. Importers and distributors in the UAE are looking for partners in the areas of ​​food, fashion, and Dutch design articles. In addition, there are many opportunities for service providers in the financial sector, transport & logistics, tourism, marketing & communication, etc.

We will visit the UAE during the Gulfood exhibition and the Dubai Food Festival. The Gulfood is the world’s largest annual food, beverage and hospitality fair where professionals and buyers from all over the world meet. This exhibition focuses on the gigantic food business which also focuses on innovations, new technology and also the trillion dollar halal industry.

Did you know that the UAE imports more than 80% of its food every year and that about 50% of this is exported to, among other things, the Gulf states, India and Africa.

Shortly after the Gulfood, the Dubai Food Festival will start where specialists and food lovers will travel from all over the world. Every year, the organization organizes a meeting of the best cuisines from around the world, where both consumers and professionals get inspiration for new tastes and concepts. Various meetings are also organized around the festival, for example in the field of fashion, beauty, sport and culture.
