Global Food Week 2026 to be held in Abu Dhabi

Global Food Week is scheduled to return to the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi from October 6–8, 2026. The upcoming edition is expected to be the largest to date, serving as a hub for international food and agriculture businesses to showcase innovations and new products.

Key features of the event include the introduction of ‘Shop at the Show’, a new business-to-consumer platform allowing direct interaction and purchasing from exhibitors. The event will also host a Farmers Market featuring local produce, a Beverage Zone focused on specialty coffee and matcha, and various masterclasses and workshops.

A significant addition to the program is the inaugural Abu Dhabi Honey Symposium. Organized by the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) in collaboration with Apimondia, the symposium will bring together researchers, beekeepers, and industry experts. It will feature over 40 beekeeping booths, a global honey tasting platform, and sessions covering topics such as honey sensory evaluation and apitherapy.
