The Netherlands will once again be present at Gulfood Green, held from September 23-25 in Dubai. Dutch Greenhouse Delta will lead the Netherlands Pavilion, representing a range of Dutch public and private organizations ready to collaborate on the UAE's food security strategy.
The Dutch government places a high priority on international cooperation with the UAE, and Gulfood Green is an important step toward strengthening bilateral ties. Therefore, a large delegation of Dutch horticultural companies and representatives will be present at the trade fair. Experts from the Netherlands are seeking to collaborate with Gulf entrepreneurs and policymakers to jointly build a sustainable food system that incorporates responsible business practices.
The Netherlands applies an integrated approach to water, energy, and sustainable horticultural solutions to address local challenges. By applying this Nexus approach, the country aims to support the UAE in its journey toward self-sufficiency in fresh food production.
Dutch Greenhouse Delta (DGD) coordinates this collaboration under the triple helix model, where the public sector, private companies, and academic institutions work together.
Giovanni Angiolini, Director DGD Middle East and Africa, is the coordinator of this public-private partnership, he explains: "By leveraging Dutch expertise, the UAE can enhance its agricultural production capabilities and ensure a sustainable future for its food systems."
Mr. Angiolini will also be a featured speaker at the freely accessible Food For Future Summit on Wednesday, September 25, at 2:15 PM in Za'abeel Hall 3 during Gulfood Green. His talk will explore solutions for sustainable agriculture in the Gulf.
