Agritech Connect Dubai 2027
6 October 2027
Controlled-environment farming, water and irrigation, AI on the farm and agritech investment, with growers, founders and investors from across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Why Dubai
A food-security hub at the crossroads of three continents
The UAE imports most of its food and has made food security a national priority, backing controlled-environment farming, water-efficient irrigation and agritech startups through its National Food Security Strategy 2051.
Dubai puts growers, technology companies and investors from the Middle East, Africa and Asia within a few hours of each other. It is a natural place to meet the people buying, funding and regulating agricultural technology.
Why now
More food, with less water, land and labour
Climate pressure, water scarcity and rising input costs are changing agriculture faster than at any time in a generation. The tools exist: sensors, AI, robotics, biologicals and controlled-environment farming. Agritech Connect is where the people deploying them meet the people funding and buying them.
