emirates7 - Dubai Industrial City will participate in SIAL Paris 2024 as part of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) delegation, taking place from October 19 to 23 at Paris Nord Villepinte in France.

As a segment of TECOM Group PJSC, which develops ten specialized business districts and vibrant communities, Dubai Industrial City will showcase its strong sector-specific infrastructure, strategic location, and dynamic business community, all of which contribute to a resilient and innovative manufacturing environment aimed at enhancing global food security.

“Collaboration is essential for creating a food-secure future for everyone, and a cohesive manufacturing ecosystem is fundamental to this effort,” stated Saud Abu Alshawareb, Executive Vice President of Industrial at TECOM Group, representing Dubai Industrial City.

He added, “We are committed to fostering an environment that promotes innovation within the food and beverage (F&B) manufacturing sector, which is vital for reinforcing global food supply chains. This aligns with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), Operation 300bn, Make it in the Emirates, and the National Food Security Strategy 2051, positioning Dubai and the UAE as leaders in industrial excellence and contributors to global food security.”

Dubai Industrial City’s presence at SIAL Paris 2024 underscores its critical role in shaping the regional F&B manufacturing landscape by enhancing the resilience of local supply chains.

Furthermore, Dubai Industrial City's strategic location near Al Maktoum International Airport, Jebel Ali Port, an Etihad Rail freight terminal, and major road networks supports food security throughout the F&B manufacturing lifecycle. This proximity facilitates efficient trade and logistics for F&B companies, ensuring the freshness and safety of products during transport while providing access to consumers across the MENASA region.

Established in 2004, Dubai Industrial City hosts over 1,000 clients, including global leaders like A.P. Moeller-Maersk, Patchi, and Al Barakah Dates, alongside 300 operational factories.
