Global Food Week 2026 runs from October 6 to 8 under the theme “Building Scalable Food Futures Together.” Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the UAE, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority, the event brings together policymakers, international organisations, investors and researchers to advance dialogue on food security, sustainability and agricultural transformation. The comprehensive programme encompasses the Global Food Security Summit, AgriTech Forum, Farmers Majlis, FAO Policy Majlis and the World Organisation for Animal Health workshop, alongside the Abu Dhabi Date Palm Exhibition and Abu Dhabi Honey Forum. This year’s edition introduces new experiences including Shop at the Show, while welcoming India as Guest of Honour, enhancing its role as a platform for collaboration and investment across the global food value chain.
Concurrently, AI Everything 2026 welcomes technology leaders, policymakers and innovators on October 6 and 7 to explore artificial intelligence’s transformative impact on economies, industries and societies. Through conferences, strategic discussions and industry showcases, the event highlights the latest developments in AI and underscores the UAE’s commitment to advancing emerging technologies and strengthening its position as a global innovation hub.
