Important results from the project
The aim of the visit to Singapore was to network and establish contacts with relevant parties in the food tech and agri tech sector. The aim and goals of the visit have been very well met. Visit to different agencies such as Singapore Food Agency and Nanyang Technological University and Republic Polytechnic, and to other private food and agri tech companies were rewarding. During the visits and meetings it was understandable that there is a clear focus and strong acceleration towards production of sustainable food in Singapore.
