Organised by ADNEC Group, a Modon company, in partnership with Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA), the Khalifa International Award for Date Palm and Agricultural Innovation, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), Global Food Week 2025 saw the return of some of its leading international exhibitions, including the fourth edition of the Abu Dhabi International Food Exhibition and the 11th edition of the Abu Dhabi Date Palm Exhibition, as well the launch of new events including Global Food Talks, the AgriTech Forum, the Alternative Proteins Initiative (PALT) and a wide range of accompanying activities.

Over three days, Global Food Week attracted more than 40,108 attendees, a 16% increase compared to the 2024 edition, where they were able to view the latest food and beverage products and services from local and international exhibitors.

An enhanced Hosted Buyers Programme contributed to this edition’s success, which connected exhibitors with 400 elite, pre-qualified buyers for tailored networking and meetings. This approach maximised exhibitor exposure and delivered significant value to all participants.
