Singapore is strategically located and is often ranked as the world's busiest port and the second largest trading hub for food commodities. Despite being only half the size of London, a large portion of its land is devoted to housing, industry and transport infrastructure. Only 10 percent of its food supply is produced locally, requiring imports from around the world.
To mitigate the risks of further disruptions, Singapore has embarked on an ambitious journey to produce 30 percent of the country's food needs locally by 2030. The government is committed to mobilizing both private and public entities to establish Singapore as a safe and sustainable technology hub for the agriculture and food industries.
Business Swedens’s vision is to bridge the gap between the Nordics and Singapore, to bring groundbreaking innovative solutions to the island nation. Therefore, this webinar aims to give you a breakdown of what to expect on this year’s trip to Singapore. In addition, we will highlight the new changes for the 2024 delegation. Based on feedback, we have designed two distinct tracks to meet different needs. The first track is tailored for companies or research institutions seeking research collaborations, scientific partnerships or assessing market fit in Singapore. The second track is aimed at companies ready to secure seed funding or expand their product commercialization efforts in the region.
