Beyond the Kitchen – How Technology is Empowering the Future of People in Food

At The Hotel Show Dubai 2025, incredible minds came together to explore how digital ecosystems are shaping the future of people and the industry in food.

The panel featured:
Valerie Brown, Regional Agricultural Minister Counselor, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA);
Andy Cuthbert, President, Worldchefs;
Nicholas Baker, Managing Director MEA, Rational AG; and
Sunjeh Raja, Director & CEO, ICCA - International Centre for Culinary Arts (Dubai & Abu Dhabi) Dubai and Founder, Foodverseio and was moderated by Ekta Alreja, Head of Content & Communications, ICCA-Foodverse.

Together, they shared how a connected digital ecosystem can drive real impact by nurturing talent, building communities, enhancing food storytelling, and creating opportunities across the world.

The discussion spotlighted how platforms like Foodverse are transforming the way chefs can connect, learn, grow, compete, and get empowered. With success stories like FV Compete at the International Emirates Salon Culinaire at ExpoCulinaire UAE 2025 and several global collaborations underway, the conversation highlighted a powerful shift in how the culinary world thrives beyond the kitchen and into a digitally united future.

Thank you to everyone who made this exchange of ideas possible.
