In a bold move to cement Dubai’s status as a global culinary powerhouse, GreatList, a renowned authority in the food and beverage industry, has launched the GreatList Sessions. This groundbreaking initiative aims to showcase Dubai’s vibrant dining scene on the international stage, highlighting its diverse culinary identity and fostering cross-cultural collaboration. The project kicked off with a grand showcase in Moscow, one of Dubai’s top tourist markets, featuring ten of the city’s most celebrated chefs. These chefs, recognized by prestigious culinary awards such as Michelin, Gault&Millau, and The World’s 50 Best MENA, brought Dubai’s culinary innovation to life through week-long, sold-out pop-up events. The initiative garnered unprecedented media attention, with coverage in over 400 publications and four national television features, reaching an audience of 45 million. This extensive exposure not only amplified Dubai’s reputation as a gastronomic hub but also underscored its role in connecting global culinary traditions. GreatList’s efforts extended beyond international showcases, as the company also launched the GreatList by Alexander Sysoev Scholarship in partnership with the Dubai College of Tourism. This annual scholarship supports aspiring chefs by providing financial aid to outstanding students pursuing a Certificate in Culinary Arts, thereby nurturing the next generation of culinary talent in the UAE. With Dubai’s gastronomy market projected to reach $50.21 billion by 2033, GreatList’s initiatives are poised to drive further growth and recognition. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand its global presence to cities like Shanghai, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore, while continuing to bolster the UAE’s F&B ecosystem and elevate its culinary standards.
