Dubai, UAE \u2013 9th<\/sup> December:<\/strong> With 2024 declared the hottest year on record and COP16 discussions in Riyadh highlighting the critical need for accelerated climate action, UAE-based startups jalebi.io and Olive Gaea have announced a strategic partnership to combat the global food waste crisis. Valued at $1 trillion annually, food waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for nearly 8-10% of global totals.<\/p>\n

As the F&B sector continues its rapid growth, it grapples with the stark reality that the environmental and economic consequences of food waste have become increasingly urgent. Inefficient supply chains and operational blindspots cost businesses up to $100 billion annually while exacerbating climate change. Recognizing the opportunity to address this dual challenge, jalebi.io, an AI-enabled F&B SaaS platform to optimize operations, and Olive Gaea, a climate-tech company leveraging AI to drive decarbonization, have joined forces to provide sustainable, scalable solutions.<\/p>\n

The partnership, signed at Hub71 – Abu Dhabi\u2019s global tech ecosystem – brings together jalebi.io\u2019s purpose-built technology, designed with seasoned operators to integrate and optimize their in-house supply-chain and inventory management, and Olive Gaea\u2019s expertise in measuring and reducing environmental impact. By combining their strengths, the two companies are determined to eliminate inefficiencies in F&B operations while enabling businesses to quantify and mitigate their carbon footprint and monetize their decarbonization efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership exemplifies how climate-tech and industry-vetted software can effectively tackle one of the fastest growing and most pressing challenges of our time,\u201d said Vivek Tripathi, Co-Founder and CEO of Olive Gaea. \u201cFood waste isn\u2019t just an economic strain on businesses; it\u2019s a critical environmental crisis. By working with jalebi.io, we\u2019re able to provide actionable tools to turn waste into opportunity, creating measurable impact for the F&B sector that unlocks capital and pays back dividends.\u201d<\/p>\n

For jalebi.io, the collaboration reinforces its commitment to aligning business growth with its Government-endorsed sustainability goals. \u201cAt jalebi.io, our mission has always been to create smarter, more profitable F&B operations while meaningfully contributing to a healthier planet,\u201d said Zohare Haider, Co-founder & CEO of jalebi.io. \u201cThis unique partnership with Olive Gaea strengthens our ability to deliver real economic and environmental value to the industry, leveraging fit-for-purpose technology to tackle food waste at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through their collaboration, businesses using jalebi.io\u2019s platform will now gain access to advanced tools for tracking and reducing their carbon footprints. This added capability empowers F&B operators to adopt more sustainable practices while positioning themselves competitively in markets where environmental accountability is increasingly valued.<\/p>\n

Both startups, rooted in the UAE\u2019s thriving startup ecosystem, highlight the region\u2019s role as a hub for impactful innovation. \u201cThe UAE\u2019s emphasis on sustainability and its support for emerging technologies provide the perfect environment for partnerships like this to thrive,\u201d said Haider. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to represent this ecosystem by addressing global challenges with scalable, impact-driven solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding to this, Vivek said: \u201cThis partnership reflects how AI can drive meaningful change with application to addressing operational inefficiencies while accelerating climate action. It\u2019s collaborations like this that exemplify how the regional ecosystem is designed to scale solutions addressing global challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
