Business France, the national agency supporting the international development of the French economy, has shared that 96 French companies are set to exhibit at Gulfood in Dubai from 19 to 23 February 2024.
These companies will be spread across four specialised pavilions: Beverages in Za’abeel 2, Dairy in Hall 1, Meat in Hall 3, and World Food in Sheikh Saeed hall 2, where Business France (stand S2-B70) will introduce its dedicated marketplace.
Business France noted that it will be showcasing examples of sustainable practices, organic farming, and cutting-edge food technology.
Likewise, it noted that it will present a selection of Halal-certified products, French-Middle Eastern fusion cuisine, and gluten-free and low-calorie offerings.
Further, for the first time, the French Pavilion is presenting Business France Marketplace, a platform designed to work as the one-stop shop for businesses to connect with French suppliers in the food and beverage industries and beyond.
The “Taste France” Pavilion will also collaborate with a “renowned” influencer, with a focus on “Healthy”, “Gourmet”, and “Sustainable” Food” it was shared.
Speaking about France’s participation, Axel Baroux, French Trade & Invest Commissioner, said: “Our participation at Gulfood 2024 embodies the strong synergy between France and the UAE, transcending mere trade to represent our shared visions for quality, sustainability, and innovation in the food sector. This event signifies our ongoing commitment to enriching our trade relations and fostering future collaborations.”
France pavilions are supported by Bretagne Commerce International, CCI International Grand Est, Dev’up Centre-Val de Loire, Food ‘Loire, Evian; Valrhona and Café Richard.
