Dubai – Mubasher: Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (du) partnered with Gracia Group to launch the agritech platform, according to a press release.

The platform is a full-fledged digital ecosystem created to transform the agricultural sector in the UAE in line with the country’s growth vision, according to a press release.

It leverages the power of information and communication technologies (ICT), cloud computing, automation, the internet of things (IoT), data science, and AI to achieve the Gulf country's vision for advanced, sustainable, and secure farming practices.

The agritech platform offers end-to-end comprehensive one-stop-shop services covering all aspects of agriculture and farming for farmers, suppliers, buyers, agritech entities, business entities, and retail outlets.

The agritech platform aims to expand investment opportunities in the field of agriculture, providing comprehensive training and incubation programmes in adopting farming as a mainstream business.
