The Italian powerhouse next-gen climate tech and sustainable growing systems set to transform agriculture across the Middle East and beyond

Horticulture is at the heart of the UAE’s efforts to enhance food security, biodiversity and environmental sustainability. As the world’s demand for fresh, locally grown produce rises, the UAE is investing heavily in controlled-environment agriculture and advanced cultivation technologies to meet this need.

As the UAE looks toward its ambitious Vision 2030, sustainability and environmental stewardship are taking centre stage. Landscaping is more than just aesthetics; it is a vital element of the region's broader goals for economic diversification, climate resilience, and urban livability. Myplant & Garden ME 2025 is set to spotlight this critical sector, bringing together innovators, landscape architects, urban planners, and green technology pioneers to transform the UAE’s outdoor spaces.

As the UAE accelerates toward its Vision 2030, technology investments are reshaping industries across the nation, driving sustainability, economic growth, and environmental resilience. Nowhere is this transformation more evident than in the green sector, where cutting-edge technologies are revolutionizing landscaping, horticulture, and urban planning. Myplant & Garden ME 2025 will serve as a vital platform for showcasing these innovations, highlighting how technology can empower greener, more efficient cities.

Nurseries play a crucial role in supporting landscaping and horticulture industries, serving as the primary source of plants for both commercial and residential projects. They are the starting point for creating lush landscapes, vibrant gardens and sustainable agricultural systems.

Myplant & Garden Middle East, the region’s first and only international B2B trade fair dedicated to ornamental horticulture, is gaining significant traction ahead of its debut at the Dubai Exhibition Centre from 15–17 November 2025.

Myplant & Garden is proud to welcome Desert Group as an official strategic partner for the inaugural edition of Myplant & Garden Middle East, set to take place at Dubai Expo City from November 15–17, 2025.

As the UAE accelerates its push toward a sustainable future under the Green Agenda 2030, the real estate sector is undergoing a pivotal shift. Developers, investors, and urban planners are now reimagining communities where landscaping and horticulture aren’t afterthoughts but central to long-term value and resilience.

Green infrastructure isn’t a luxury. It’s essential. In the UAE’s arid environment, integrating landscape with infrastructure is key to building climate-resilient cities. This means viewing green spaces not just as beautification, but as functional systems that underpin urban resilience.

GreenSTEM is more than a trend — it’s a national priority. As the UAE executes its Green Agenda 2030 and shifts to a diversified, knowledge-based economy, there’s growing urgency to train the next wave of scientists, engineers, and innovators who will lead sustainable transformation.

As urban centres in the UAE continue their rapid development, a quiet but powerful discipline is reshaping how these cities evolve: horticultural science. No longer confined to botanical gardens or agricultural lands, this branch of science now plays a critical role in solving urban challenges and designing cities that are liveable, sustainable and resilient.

The UAE has made its mark on the world stage with luxury, innovation, and architectural grandeur. But in a post-pandemic world, another factor is driving travel decisions: sustainability. Tourists are seeking destinations that align with their environmental values — and for developers of hotels, resorts, and entertainment hubs, the landscape is fast becoming a competitive differentiator.
