This week, Agerpoint attended the Food Innovation Conference in the UAE. The conference was organized by the World Economic Forum and Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives and was appropriately titled “Reimagining Future Food Systems.” Our technology was featured in the Innovation Showcase and we were honored to demonstrate our platform and work to the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, leaders from Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives along with other global innovators, private and public sector organizations and farmers working to solve challenges in food systems. Major takeaway --> Technology solutions exist today to help support the future of agriculture and to address hunger and climate change, but the innovations and bold action we urgently need are in the form of uncommon collaboration and creative business models.

🌱 Thormi Technology debuted at Gulfood - The World’s Largest, Most Trusted F&B Sourcing Event, in Dubai. Peeter Tava, the leader and CEO of Thormi, believes that Thormi Technology will have its first international contracts this year and the first ThormiTech-licensed factory could open its doors beyond borders by 2025. “Today’s #entrepreneurship must focus on reducing our #ecological footprint on this planet. Therefore, expanding by establishing local factories worldwide seems crucial. Transporting food from distant parts of the world is unsustainable, as people increasingly prefer #locally produced food,” explained Peeter Tava. #negotiations are taking place with India, Australia, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. “Entrepreneurs are increasingly concerned about the effects of #climate change and the irrational use of natural #resources. They are seeking ways to produce healthy, sustainable, and local food,” added Tava. 📌With their cutting-edge approach to #sustainable food production, Thormi Technology is set to make waves internationally.
