Expo 2020 Dubai is seeking UAE-based SMEs to produce authentic Emirati food products as it opens up tenders for food and beverage licences for the landmark event.

The Expo organising body is also seeking regional products, including dates, Arabian coffee, sweets, chocolate and spices. The food products will be sold at selected outlets across the UAE as well as at dedicated Expo retail shops.

“We want to work with producers to create a range of products that authentically reflect our heritage and the multinational diversity of the modern UAE,”  Bureau Expo 2020 Dubai executive director Najeeb Al Ali said.

“Our ambition is for the Expo opportunity to support the development of home-grown food brands. I hope that UAE-based SMEs and food-producers will harness their creativity and innovation to serve up high quality traditional and home-made treats that will appeal to the millions who visit both before and during the World Expo.”

Tenders are open to firms of any size. Interested companies may register on the Expo’s online tender site, esource.expo2020dubai.ae before March 9, 2017.
