This is where the rail innovation where the future of food production is showcased, but it's also speaks very highly as to Dubai and the UAE. 8 is where the entire region comes to source their innovation, sustainability and manufacturing business improvement tools of the future. And This is why shows like Gulfood Manufacturing in just 10 editions has become one of the most important trade fairs in the world. My hope was about how AI is going to change the food manufacturing industry to really start leveraging the human machine collaboration to build an organization that is ready for the future. Well, the importance of events such as golf food manufacturing is that it brings people together from all around the world to talk, to share, to educate yourself, to learn and to understand what's happening in the world. Because the world is changing so fast, if you're not aware, you are going to lose out. So I think the importance of these events is that it brings people together to talk about the future. We are all the architects of tomorrow. This event is our anchor event. It's not just that Dubai is crossroads to Europe, Africa, Asia, but it's also a very important exhibition for us where we meet and connect with our customers.
