Dubai, United Arab Emirates – October 2024 – Future Food Foundry (3F), a leading force in agri-food technology based in the UAE, has made a substantial minority investment exceeding USD 5 million in Greeneration, a prominent longevity brand company. This strategic investment is set to advance local food supply and bolster the UAE’s objectives for food sustainability and security.
Greeneration has rapidly established itself as a vital player in Dubai’s agricultural sector, focusing on hyperlocal production through its high-end specialty greens vertical farm. The farm specializes in cultivating premium edible flowers, microgreens, and specialty leaves designed specifically for high-end culinary professionals. With this new investment, 3F aims to support Greeneration’s expansion beyond fine dining ingredients, guiding it toward its broader vision of becoming a comprehensive longevity brand.
Greeneration’s mission emphasizes health and sustainability, with plans to diversify its product offerings to include superfoods, adaptogens, and medicinal herbs. These products are intended to enhance long-term vitality and holistic well-being for consumers. The investment will facilitate Greeneration in achieving breakeven and launching its first sub-brands within its longevity platform while maintaining a commitment to food safety and culinary excellence in the UAE.
Leo Musatov, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Future Food Foundry, remarked, “This investment marks a significant milestone in our mission to create a new generation of superfoods with restorative health benefits.

By investing in Greeneration, 3F is actively working to reduce this dependence and support the UAE’s vision for a resilient, self-sufficient food system. Greeneration’s innovative vertical farming practices align seamlessly with 3F’s mission to integrate cutting-edge technology with traditional knowledge for a more sustainable future.
