Planning grant for collaboration with Singapore within FoodTech

Purpose and goal

Food tech companies and researchers in Singapore and Sweden are at the forefront of developing new, sustainable foods. RISE has extensive food tech expertise and together with the innovative Swedish food company Millow, we want to build collaborations with actors in Singapore to realize new FoI projects within food tech. Our aim is to initiate new contacts through physical and digital meetings and formulate new project ideas with newly established consortia.

Expected effects and result

We want to add to the movement towards a sustainable food system through an increased consumption of more sustainable foods in line with the protein shift; to feed a growing population within the planet´s bounderies. A sustainable diet with an increased intake of plant-based foods and reduced consumption of red meat can benefit public health. To reach the goals, new tailored ingredients and food innovations are needed that can be produced using a sustainable business model.

Planned approach and implementation

We believe that physical meetings are important for fruitful collaborations, therefore we will visit Singapore to initiate collaborations between Swedish and Singaporean companies and research actors. Interesting actors in Singapore will be mapped and contacted, then employees from RISE will travel to Singapore for physical meetings. The project ends with follow-up of contacts, formation of project consortia and formulation of applications/development of business collaborations between companies
