Gulfood 2026

Gulfood is the largest trade fair in the Middle East and, according to the organizers, the world’s largest within the F&B segment.To accommodate the high demand for participation, the organizers have expanded the event across two locations. Proteins (meat, poultry, and seafood) and dairy products will remain in the main exhibition halls at the World Trade Centre, as in previous years, while fruits, vegetables, and other products will be relocated to Dubai Expo.

Registration has now closed, and following strong interest, it has been confirmed that 12 Norwegian exporters will participate at the Norwegian Seafood Council’s joint stand. It is very encouraging to see such strong engagement, especially considering that a participation fee of NOK 90,000 per company was introduced this year. This demonstrates that the event continues to be perceived as valuable and relevant for the industry.

We strongly recommend booking your hotel as early as possible, as accommodations tend to fill up during the exhibition period. The Norwegian Seafood Council stays at Novotel, located close to the exhibition area, as traffic and queues can be heavy around the opening and closing hours of the event.

By booking through the provided links, you will receive a 20% discount on available rooms at Ibis One Central, Novotel, or Ibis World Trade Centre, all of which are located near the exhibition venue.
