Unlocking Asia's trillion-dollar opportunity

Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Summit 2026 brought together 800+ leaders from across the agri-food value chain in Singapore as the anchor event of Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW). Organised in partnership with Temasek and Singapore Food Agency, the summit welcomed agribusinesses, food and ingredient brands, governments, investors, start-ups and innovators from across Asia-Pacific and beyond.

Building on the momentum of this year's summit, we look forward to welcoming the global agri-food community back to Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, on 16-18 November 2027.

Across the 2026 programme, delegates explored the forces reshaping the region's food systems, from food security, climate resilience and nutrition to investment, AI, biomanufacturing and next-generation agricultural technologies. More than 200 speakers shared insights on how technology, policy and capital can work together to strengthen the future of food and agriculture across Asia-Pacific.

Highlights included the inaugural Pre-Summit Investment Forum, ministerial keynotes, Editorial Deep Dives, start-up showcases, country delegations, curated networking experiences and hundreds of one-to-one meetings designed to accelerate innovation, foster new partnerships and create commercial opportunities across the agri-food ecosystem
