NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in Dubai will gather global agri-food corporates, investors and technology start-ups from around the world to uncover the most exciting innovations in the agri-food sector and to forge the right partnerships to take those solutions to market.

The summit engages the entire the agri-value chain, from leading investors, agribusinesses and technology providers to trailblazing start-ups, to accelerate innovation and investment in climate-resilient agriculture and prioritise actions to tackle food insecurity across the three regions.

Key summit sessions will focus on improving the soil microbiome and nutrient density in desert environments, accelerating R&D in crop varieties that withstand climate-related stresses, increasing accessibility to real-time data and predictive analytics, and addressing roadblocks to technology adoption for smallholder farmers.

As 300+ of the most influential leaders in agriculture across the MEASA region convene for the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in Dubai, energetic conversations and dynamic panel discussions will showcase investment opportunities, promote partnership and collaboration, and position sustainable farming at the forefront of the policy agenda
