Foodpreneur Scale-Up Lab

Intelli.accelerate: Foodpreneur Scale-Up Lab is your opportunity for real growth breakthroughs during Gulfood Week 2026.

Not standard pitches with the bravado and hype—just presentations on the honest challenges faced by F&B founders.

Wisdom shared live and ongoing support from industry experts on manufacturing, margins, and market entry—leave with clearer priorities, sharper growth levers, and a concrete list of next moves you can activate immediately!

Who it’s for and why it matters?

This opportunity is for F&B founders who have already launched, already have customers, and now face harder problems around margins, manufacturing, listings, export, team capacity, and other challenging areas—not for idea-stage pitches.

 

Think CPG brands, FoodTech ventures, specialty and free-from products, and grocery-trade startups preparing to scale across GCC and beyond.​
 

Benefit from the expertise of a curated group of experienced route-to-market specialists, food startup ecosystem builders, and CPG and FMCG leaders.

Simple Goal: turn sharing on one honest growth challenge into a rapport- and capacity-building exercise that spurs real momentum and post-event support.
