The Global Forum for Innovations in Agriculture (GFIA) and VIV MEA will be co-locating their international events for the first time at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) from 15-17 February 2016.

GFIA (www.innovationsinagriculture.com) will be staging its flagship global edition in Abu Dhabi for the third consecutive year, whilst VIV MEA will take place in the Middle East for the first time.

Together the events expect to host over 500 exhibitors of innovative technology, making Abu Dhabi home to the largest sustainable agricultural events in the region. 

GFIA has become the flagship event for agricultural innovation across the world .

Partnership details

The partnership consists of a co-location of 2 independent events. VIV MEA focuses on Poultry. GFIA addresses plant protein production as well as aquaculture. The 2 events take place next to each other, each with their own entrance and registration. This creates a valuable one-stop-shop opportunity for visitors from Middle East and Africa who are active in several segments within Agri&Food production. In 2016, they only have to visit the Emirates once. 

Date change

The show dates will change into February 15-16-17, 2016. As such, VIV MEA starts 1 day earlier than previously announced.
