Themed ‘Scaling Innovation in Asia’s Agri-Food Systems’, SIAW 2024 to explore groundbreaking solutions, forge new partnerships, and advance agri-food technology development and adoption across the region
The Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW) returns for its fourth edition from 18 to 22 November at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands. Asia’s leading platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration, SIAW gathers global industry leaders, policymakers, decision-makers, and innovators to explore groundbreaking solutions, forge new partnerships, and advance agri-food technology development and adoption across the region.
Themed ‘Scaling Innovation in Asia’s Agri-Food Systems’, SIAW 2024 comprises four constituent events: the Roundtable on Novel Food Regulations, the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit, the Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia, and the Global Agri-Food Scientific Symposium. These events showcase the latest innovations in sustainable food production, while providing attendees with multiple opportunities to create and share solutions amongst a like-minded community committed to driving impactful change in the region’s agri-food industry.
The week will begin with the SIAW Welcome Reception, an exclusive, by-invitation event held on the evening of 18 November 2024. It will be officiated by Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Mr Gan Kim Yong. The reception provides a unique opportunity to engage and network with a distinguished group of agri-food corporates, start-ups, entrepreneurs, business executives, investors, policymakers, research scientists, and trade partners.
The SIAW is jointly organised by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and Temasek; supported by Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), and Singapore Tourism Board (STB); and with organising partners Constellar and Rethink Events. The largest edition to date, SIAW 2024 expects to welcome 12,000 attendees from 82 countries and regions, 300 exhibitors and 400 speakers.
The forum will explore key topics such as the development of a safety-assessed ingredient list for cell culture media components, production of fermentation-derived novel food products, and global regulatory best practices. From regenerative agriculture, biological inputs and AI-driven solutions to climate-smart aquaculture, novel proteins and precision fermentation, the Summit will explore the innovative solutions and financing strategies that are meeting demand for nutritious and affordable foods.
Nurasa, a wholly-owned Temasek company that focuses on accelerating the adoption of affordable and appealing sustainable nutrition solutions, is a Gold Partner for SIAW 2024. Some of the key highlights would be;
