The Middle East’s Platform for Next-Generation Agriculture

Where technology, climate resilience and large-scale production drive regional food security.

Why Agriculture is a Regional Imperative

Agriculture in the Middle East is being redefined. With limited arable land, water scarcity, and rising food demand, governments across the GCC are accelerating investment in climate-resilient, technology-enabled farming systems.

From precision agriculture and smart irrigation to controlled-environment farming and vertical production, the region is shifting toward scalable, resource-efficient models that reduce import dependency and strengthen long-term food security.

GROWTECH. MIDDLE EAST brings together the full agricultural ecosystem, connecting solution providers, farm operators, agri-investors, policymakersm and procurement leaders to power commercially viable, future-ready production across the region.

The Future Food Resilience Summit

A dedicated knowledge platform within GROWTECH. MIDDLE EAST

The Future Food Resilience Summit delivers region-focused insight on scaling sustainable agriculture across the Middle East. The programme explores precision farming technologies, controlled-environment agriculture, climate-resilient crops, supply chain resilience, water optimisation strategies, agri-finance frameworks and public-private partnerships driving production at scale.

This is practical, commercially focused content designed for regional decision-makers — not theoretical discussion.

This year's event was an excellent experience! We were very encouraged to connect with new partners, engage with regional stakeholders, and raise strong awareness for our product. Our booth was non-stop busy, with barely a moment to sit or eat! A fantastic two days.
