Building Agility and Resilience in Asia’s Food System

Organised with Temasek and the Singapore Food Agency, the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit returns on November 11–13, convening 800 senior decision-makers from agribusiness, food and ingredient brands, government, finance, philanthropy, and leading agri-food start-ups across APAC and beyond.

As the anchor event of Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW), the summit will transform Marina Bay Sands into a hub for technology discovery, deal-making, and C-suite networking. A 200-strong speaker faculty will explore the technologies, policies, finance models, and partnerships driving innovation across farming, food manufacturing, and retail.

The programme features deep dives into biotechnology, crop-specific supply chains for rice, oil palm, and fresh produce, and practical insights on fintech, regenerative agriculture, robotics, and precision farming - showcasing how innovation scales from enterprise to smallholders. With health, longevity, and gut health rising in focus, sessions will highlight food reformulation, functional nutrition, and breakthroughs in AI-enabled ingredient discovery, precision fermentation, and waste valorisation.

Alongside plenaries and start-up pitching, attendees can engage in breakout sessions, live tastings, regional showcases, and AI-powered 1-1 meetings - making this a must-attend event for business intelligence, collaboration, and investment.
