Al Seer Group, one of the UAE’s leading FMCG distributors, and Food Tech Valley, Dubai’s government-backed hub for food innovation, have announced a landmark partnership to establish a state-of-the-art food logistics and facility within Food Tech Valley.
The signing ceremony took place at the Future Food Forum 2025, held at Le Méridien Dubai, and under the patronage of the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, underlining the UAE’s commitment to creating a resilient, sustainable and self-sufficient food ecosystem.
The first initiative under this partnership will be the design and construction of a cutting-edge logistics facility at Food Tech Valley, built to prioritize speed, scalability and agility. This hub will initially focus on streamlining food distribution across the UAE, with future plans to expand product categories and nurture the growth of locally owned brands, strengthening the country’s food production ecosystem.
Once operational, this facility will become a cornerstone of the UAE’s Food Security Strategy 2051, redefining how food is sourced, stored and distributed. By integrating advanced ambient and cold chain systems, it will enhance efficiency, reduce waste and ensure consumers have greater access to safe, high-quality food at optimal prices. Beyond logistics, the facility will create jobs, develop skills and generate value for the local economy, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a leader in sustainable food systems.
Addressing Global Pressures Through Local Action
This partnership also comes at a critical moment for the global food sector. Climate change, geopolitical tensions and rapid population growth are putting unprecedented pressure on international supply chains. By combining innovation with collaboration, Food Tech Valley and Al Seer Group aim to provide a forward-thinking solution that supports the region’s long-term food security.
“At Food Tech Valley, we are designing a fully integrated value chain that connects innovation, production, manufacturing and distribution to accelerate the growth of food businesses and enhance market accessibility,” said Ahmed Al Shaibani, Director of Food Tech Valley. “Our partnership with Al Seer Group to develop a cutting-edge logistics and distribution hub marks a pivotal step in strengthening this ecosystem, advancing the UAE’s Food Security National Strategy 2051, and driving a more resilient and sustainable food future.”
Mamoun Gasim, Chief Operating Officer of Al Seer Group said: “Through this partnership, Al Seer Group aims to deliver not only an advanced logistics hub but also a foundation for a new era of food distribution and supply. By strengthening local supply networks and championing regional food brands, we are paving the way for scalable distribution models that can grow beyond our borders, connecting innovation with impact and ensuring that today’s efforts shape a thriving, sustainable future for the UAE and the wider region.”
The partnership, rooted in a shared commitment to sustainability, brings together complementary strengths to redefine the future of food, from value-added goods to efficient local distribution and regional brand growth. Over time, it will attract global partners, drive knowledge exchange and create a dynamic ecosystem that strengthens supply chains and positions the UAE as a regional hub for food manufacturing, blending economic growth with environmental stewardship.
