This competition seeks to address global food security issues by identifying early-stage, technology-driven solutions aimed at transforming food systems in challenging environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organized by the International Affairs Office of the UAE Presidential Court and Tamkeen, in collaboration with partners such as the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and Silal, the competition offers a shared $2 million cash prize. This year, it focuses on three key areas: food and water, food and energy, and food loss and waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four winning start-ups will receive funding, go-to-market support, and access to a broad network of partners to help scale their solutions. These projects are expected to address food security challenges in the UAE&#8217;s arid climate and serve as models for other underserved regions, particularly in the Global South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its inception, the FoodTech Challenge has attracted over 1,100 applications from 98 countries. Previous winners have secured funding and partnerships, with notable successes like Iyris, a start-up that has raised over $34 million and implemented its technologies across UAE farms.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Os Emirados \u00c1rabes Unidos lan\u00e7aram o terceiro FoodTech Challenge, oferecendo $2 milh\u00f5es para apoiar solu\u00e7\u00f5es tecnol\u00f3gicas para a seguran\u00e7a alimentar global.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":16338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[332,410],"tags":[246,345,268],"class_list":["post-16334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-tribu","tag-food-waste","tag-startup-program","tag-water"],"acf":{"content_format":false},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tech-1.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-05 22:44:20","action":"category","newStatus":"draft","terms":[337],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16334"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16339,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16334\/revisions\/16339"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
