With less than a month to go until the 11th edition of SIAL Middle East, organisers are looking forward to welcoming visitors and exhibitors to the Abu Dhabi Exhibitions Centre on Tuesday 7 December, and are urging those who would like to book a stand, to do so now.

It’s not too late to book a stand at SIAL Middle East, which is the one of the region’s largest food, beverage and hospitality events.

This year’s show is being held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Presidential Affairs, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA).

Visitors to SIAL Middle East can expect plenty of great content in the form of The Hosted buyers program, the UAE National Coffee Championships, SIAL Innovation and the inaugural World Gourmet Show – Abu Dhabi, which is an event not to be missed.

The Hosted Buyer Program

Recognising the importance of fostering and supporting supply chain partnerships, SIAL Middle East created The Hosted Buyer Program with the purpose of sourcing new products, meeting with suppliers and developing new business.

The program offers a dedicated, private suite that enables Hosted Buyers to meet with a selected batch of exhibitors, allowing them to develop strategic partnerships within the supply chain through a series of engaging sessions.

In 2019, the program saw 5,000+ introductions and meetings take place between exhibitors and hosted buyers. By signing up to the program, participants will be among the first to see new product launches and have the chance to network with top international food industry professionals in addition to many other benefits.

UAE National Coffee Championships

With it being one of the world’s most consumed beverages, SIAL ME recognises the rapid growth and expansion of the specialty coffee industry.

Following its successful edition in 2019, the UAE National Coffee Championships will return this year. Certified by World Coffee Events (WCE) and sanctioned by the Specialty Coffee Association, the two competitions returning are the UAE National Brewers Cup and Cup Tasters Championship qualifiers for the 2022 WCE competition.

Highlighting the meticulous craft of filter coffee brewing by hand, The World Brewers Cup competition promotes the art of manual coffee brewing and baristas’ excellent levels of service.

The World Cup Tasters Championship awards coffee cupper professionals who demonstrate speed, skill, and accuracy in distinguishing the taste differences in specialty coffees.
