The most influential annual food and beverage manufacturing event in the world, Gulfood Manufacturing, will take place from November 7 to 9, 2023, at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).
This year’s edition, expected to be the largest ever, will bring together 2,000+ exhibitors, including the biggest global brands in food and beverage production, to fill 15 halls. Gulfood Manufacturing is an ideal place for sourcing new opportunities and prospects from over 60 countries, and allows for networking opportunities with 36,000+ industry professionals.
Over 100 of the food and beverage industry’s decision-makers and the world’s leading experts will be exploring the very latest trends in the industry, and setting out strategies to capture business opportunities and address the challenges the industry faces.
Gulfood Manufacturing is approaching its milestone 10th anniversary next year, and continues to garner interest from top production players across sectors in processing, packaging, ingredients, supply chain solutions and control and automation, to chart a course towards a more sustainable, resilient, agile and efficient future.
The show is set to redouble its longstanding focus on how the food and beverage manufacturing industry is integrating sustainable practices and processes - such as, sustainable packaging, reducing food waste, introducing energy-efficient machinery with a smaller carbon footprint, and driving traceable, ethical and transparent food production.

The event comes at a critical point for the global F&B industry, as it tries to balance rising inflation and input costs, against downward price pressure from retailers and consumers – whilst meeting the imperative to make food production more sustainable. By leveraging innovative technologies and driving efficiencies, the industry can strike this balance and continue to evolve and reach new heights.”
