After the huge success of our first Food Forum held in Dubai, SGS is proud to bring back the SGS Food Forum to the Middle East for the second time.
The SGS Food Forum has been conducted many times across the globe, bringing together regulators, manufacturers, retailers, and hospitality leaders to share expertise and explore the future of food safety. Now, following the overwhelming response from the region last year, we return to Dubai to continue building momentum for innovation, traceability, and sustainability in the food sector.
