Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit 2024

Accelerating Climate Resilience and Nutrition in Asia

As the anchor event of Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW), in collaboration with Temasek, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), and Enterprise Singapore (ESG), the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit​ will bring together over 1000 global leaders to identify the strategic priorities as we build greater capacity, security, and resilience in Asia’s agri-food system.

Witnessing the devastating effects of climate change, and how floods, heatwaves, and rising sea temperatures undermine food security around the world, this year’s summit will focus on the climate adaptation strategies that will ensure food security for future generations in the Asia-Pacific region.

From regenerative agriculture, biological inputs, and AI-driven solutions to climate smart aquaculture, novel foods and elderly and child nutrition, the summit will explore the innovative solutions and financing strategies that are meeting demand for nourishing and affordable foods while building climate resilience and mitigating environmental impact.

Taking place on November 19 – 21 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, this renowned leadership summit will deliver three days of high-level discussion, networking, and deal-making. Exploring integrated approaches for food production now and in the future, the world’s leading agribusinesses, food brands, growers, entrepreneurs, and investors will discuss how technology and investment can be targeted for climate-positive impact on the agri-food value chain in the Asia-Pacific region.

Daily pitch sessions, happy hour networking, a menu featuring new and innovative products from the region’s start-ups, and a sophisticated 1-1 networking app make this a stand-out event for breakthrough innovation discovery, investment, and partnerships.
