[MONDAY MINUTE] The "Silent" Tech Race the United States is Losing to the Middle East
Monday, 30 March, 2026
All we ever hear about is the intense competition between the United States and China for dominance in artificial intelligence. But what about our race against the UAE for precision fermentation marketplace control? If you’re not familiar, precision fermentation has become increasingly competitive, especially due to advancements in AI and computational biology that can more effectively create new and known ingredients from many types of host organisms. The UAE is actively embracing precision fermentation by establishing large-scale facilities, creating regulatory frameworks, and attracting public-private strategic partnerships to address food security and water scarcity in the wealthy, arid country. Key initiatives include a planned $500 million precision fermentation hub by Novel Foods Group, the development of a first-of-its-kind facility for animal-free dairy by Change Foods, and exploratory plans for an industrial-scale facility in partnership with The EVERY Co. and startup Vivici…that would undoubtedly catapult the UAE into the global food innovation hub.
