Appetite for Change: Transforming Food in APAC | The DO Innovation Series

The food innovation sector in APAC is booming, bringing together technological, cultural, and social innovation. From production to harvesting, distribution and consumption, the demand for sustainable, nutrient-rich, and inclusive food has created new markets and niches that are expanding at high speeds.

As the region with the largest and fastest-growing population, APAC has a big role in enabling and expanding food innovation and leading global change. APAC’s unique demographics, diverse stakeholders, needs for improving food security and nutritional quality, and the ability to innovate are the catalysts for change in our agri-food system.

We will cover:

– What is the driving force behind the explosion of food-tech start-ups and investments into food?

– What are the latest trends on food innovation in APAC?

– What are the opportunities for the traditional agri-food industries?
