About this event

Ever wondered why there is so much hype about urban farming and controlled environment agriculture? Or why the Singapore government is spending S$144 million in research on food security? For the longest time, Singapore has enjoyed the benefit of importing 90% of its nutritional needs from foreign sources.

The recent pandemic as well as the need for greater food security has brought about a resurgence in the need to grow the agtech industry in Singapore. Find out how some companies plan to grow this industry in the next 10 years, and the latest innovations happening in our own backyard.
