We are honored and thrilled to announce that Harvester Coffee Company has been officially selected for the inaugural UAE Future 50, a national initiative spearheaded by the UAE Ministry of Economy and the Government Development and The Future Office.
This prestigious recognition celebrates 50 future-oriented, Emirati-led enterprises that are actively shaping the UAE's national economy across 13 strategic sectors. Being part of this elite group is not only a humbling milestone—it’s a testament to the incredible progress we’ve made as a homegrown specialty coffee company rooted in transparency, sustainability, and innovation.
What Is the UAE Future 50?
The UAE Future 50 is more than just an award—it's a forward-looking initiative designed to empower and spotlight the next generation of Emirati-led companies that are redefining what it means to build a sustainable, diverse, and globally competitive economy.
With the backing of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, and the visionary leadership of Her Excellency Ohood bint Khalfan Al Roumi and Her Excellency Alia Abdulla AlMazrouei, the program serves as a national platform to amplify the voices and ventures that are leading the way in innovation, resilience, and long-term impact.
For us at Harvester, this is a powerful validation that even in a saturated and competitive industry, a mission-led business with a community-driven heart can rise and thrive on both the local and global stage.
Why This Recognition Matters
As a company deeply connected to farmers, producers, and coffee drinkers around the world, our vision has always extended far beyond the cup. We believe that great coffee begins long before it reaches your mug—it starts at origin, with people, relationships, and responsible practices.
Being named a Future 50 enterprise gives us the opportunity to:
- Scale our impact through greater collaboration with government, startups, and institutions.
- Strengthen our global supply chain while maintaining direct relationships with producers.
- Contribute to the UAE’s food and beverage innovation ecosystem through knowledge-sharing, sustainability efforts, and education.
This initiative also elevates our responsibility to lead with purpose, to champion the stories behind every bean, and to create value for our community—from smallholder farmers to café partners, home brewers, and beyond.
A Word From Our Team
“This recognition is not just for us—it’s for every producer we work with, every customer who believes in better coffee, and every Emirati founder pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” says the team at Harvester.
“Our inclusion in the UAE Future 50 affirms that ethical business models, when backed by clarity and commitment, can create lasting change. And we’re only getting started.”
Looking Ahead
As part of the UAE Future 50, we look forward to contributing to the ongoing development of a resilient, inclusive, and knowledge-based economy—one that uplifts communities, promotes responsible sourcing, and supports local talent.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the organizers, leadership, and fellow enterprises selected in this first cohort. Together, we are shaping a more transparent, innovative, and connected future—one cup at a time.
