From billion-dollar trade deals to groundbreaking sustainability initiatives, Gulfood 2025 is setting new benchmarks that will redefine the industry for decades to come.

At the heart of this edition is the inaugural Food500 Summit, a first-of-its-kind gathering that brings together global CEOs, policymakers, and thought leaders to discuss the evolution of food production, trade, and sustainability. With a keynote address from H.E. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy, the summit will explore how the UAE is solidifying its position as a global trade hub and leading the charge toward food security and economic diversification.

Top industry figures, including Ananya Narayan (Hunter Foods), Dr. Edwini Kessie (WTO), and Tisha Livingston (Infinite Acres), will share insights on revolutionizing the food supply chain, while Daniel Levine, a leading global trends expert, will uncover what’s next for the F&B sector.

The Gulfood Top Table experience returns with a stellar lineup of 120+ world-renowned chefs boasting a combined 50 Michelin stars. Headlining the event is none other than culinary icon Alain Ducasse, a chef with 21 Michelin stars to his name. Making his UAE debut, Ducasse will lead exclusive masterclasses, tasting sessions, and an 8-hands dining experience featuring Takahisa, Krasota, Avatara, Armani Ristorante, and more.

Dubai World Cuisine, a highlight of the event, celebrates Dubai’s rise as a global culinary capital, with international and local chefs collaborating on gourmet experiences that redefine fine dining. Expect boundary-pushing gastronomy, exclusive chef collaborations, and a fusion of global flavors—all in one place.
