FoodTech.wiki.
FoodTech.wiki is a reference directory of agri-food technology across Europe, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and North Africa. It covers companies (startups and growth-stage businesses), investors, programs, events, and people that are shaping how the region grows, processes, distributes, and innovates on food.
FoodTech.wiki is part of NexFood Sweden AB.
Why this exists.
The agri-food ecosystem between Europe and the MENA region is under-documented. Gulf capital doesn't systematically see Egyptian and Moroccan founders; European accelerators haven't mapped their MENA peers; journalists covering the space work from fragmented sources. FoodTech.wiki is an attempt to close that gap — a single, opinionated, continuously updated map of what's being built and who is backing it.
Sources, before claims.
Every entry validated against a public source.
We don't publish a company, investor, program, or event without at least one independent public source — typically the entity's own website, a press release, or coverage by an outlet we recognize.
People profiles need two independent sources.
For people we hold a stricter bar — two independent sources confirming role, current company, and ecosystem activity. The system enforces this rule both at admin entry and submission time.
Snapshot timestamping.
Each entry shows when it was last reviewed. The corpus snapshot is dated on the homepage and refreshes monthly when a curated batch lands.
