Visitor Profile The Specialty Food Festival is the principal procurement platform for sourcing specialist food products for use across Jumeriah Group s extensive UAE network of hotels and restaurants. Mohammed Kapital, Vice President Supply Chain and Logistics, Jumeirah Group Visitor Objective The Specialty Food Festival provides us with insight into innovation and new developments in retail. We use these insights to future-proof our business and to stay on top of consumer trends in the fastmoving retail landscape. Miguel Povedano, Executive Regional Director, Carrefour To make business connections and sign deals with quality suppliers of gourmet F&B Executive Chefs Restaurateurs Hoteliers Distributors Premium Brand Managers Caterers Fine Dining Restaurants Resorts & Spas Supermarkets & Hypermarkets Exporters / Importers What I like about the shows is the specialization element. It allows the industry to target sections of the floor that are relevant to our business needs. As a visitor we know we will find the right suppliers and customers all under one roof. So far we have scored up to three successful deals each day. The range and samples of products at The Speciality Food Festival enable us to source from a wider and enhanced range of commodities from more countries.
