In this session organized in partnership with Grant Thornton, we addressed the topics around regional self-sufficiency in food supply and food security as well as sustainable agriculture. From the perspective of food waste, this session will also explore the issue of food waste inside supermarkets, the behaviors, and systems leading to the waste, and technological solutions to tackle these pressing challenges.

  • The role of innovation created by farms: how are farms innovating? How could we be supportive of farmer-led innovation?

EROE’s series of webinars Business Transformation Explained continues to shed light on the important subjects across vital industries in the region. Part of a 3 episodes webinar set to decode the future of money, the edition Banking Without Banks is drawing together global and regional experts in the financial industry. 

Hosted by EROE’s CEO Daniel Solomon and moderated by Kareem Monem, regional thought leader in digital transformation, the webinar brings to the hot seat the current banking system, its challenges and how fintech, innovators and technologists are bridging the gap between legacy systems and futurist technologies where value transcends money and banking becomes a personalised experience. 

“In 2019 data from the Central Bank of the UAE showed that the banking sector in the UAE is the biggest in the Middle East and Africa, with total assets reaching 824 billion Dollars (equivalent to 3,022 billion Dirhams). The Central Bank of the UAE has been heavily invested in supporting the fintech ecosystem in an effort to spark innovation that will take the financial services to an “out of the box” experience level for its customers.
