Abu Dhabi is creating a dynamic ecosystem that not only addresses the global challenges of food security and water scarcity but also propels economic growth and job creation.
The AgriFood Growth & Water Abundance (AGWA) cluster is a global hub for farmed and novel food products as well as potable water, serving as a platform to maximise commercial opportunities and enable Abu Dhabi and the UAE to play a leading role in global efforts to tackle food shortages and water scarcity.
Led by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), AGWA will drive advancements in areas such as alternative proteins, functional ingredients, algae, farming, and reverse osmosis membranes.
Companies joining AGWA will benefit from an integrated cluster that includes advanced infrastructure, funding access, skilled talent, and partnerships with government entities, R&D institutions, and academia. All key regulators and government departments will collaborate to develop effective policies and regulations for new technologies, ensuring accelerated approvals.
