The speakers will address how countries across the MENA region are intensifying their efforts towards food security, improved management of scarce water resources and the adoption of green energy leading to an increased emphasis on innovation in these sectors that are vital for economic development and sustainability. The fragility of global supply chains was exposed in the wake of the pandemic and compounded by the long war in Europe. To mitigate further disruptions agricultural self-sufficiency, energy supply and water security are increasing strategic priorities. There is a growing recognition of the potential solutions offered by tech and innovation in all these vital interlinked areas, with new opportunities emerging for agri-tech and vertical farming.
