Foodtech Valley is a UAE-government-led initiative launched in 2021 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aiming to position the UAE as a global leader in food innovation and security. The project is a partnership between the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and Wasl Properties. It focuses on creating a sustainable food ecosystem by promoting advanced farming technologies like vertical farms and aquaculture. The valley hosts four key clusters: agricultural technology and engineering, a food innovation centre, R&D facilities, and a smart logistics hub. The project will help triple food production in the UAE by 2051, reducing dependency on food imports and supporting sustainable, local food production.
