We are delighted to introduce our new partner - Corteva Agriscience™, the agriculture division of DowDuPont. It’s a truly historic moment for the Company as they will ring the bell to list on the NYSE and few hours later Peter Huang, President of Greater China for Corteva Agriscience™ will be joining the Future Food Asia conference and talk about the critical importance of smallholder farmers, a context that is one of the defining parameters of Asia.


“Smallholder farmers form the backbone of Asia’s food system, yet they are often the poorest and most vulnerable. Involving them in today’s agritech revolution is not an option, it’s essential if we are to feed future generations.", says Huang

More food for thought for those who have not yet booked their seats: our curation of exceptional contributors grows with addition of Ted Tan from Enterprise Singapore, Surachet Tanwongsval from Ecolab, Shen Ming Lee from from FoodFutureCo, Dr. Nitza Kardish from Trendlines, Nathan Anderson from ScanTrust and Uma Surana from the Asian Development Bank. 

Last but not least, with just 1 week till we announce the 12 startups who will be vying for the USD 500K prizes in total, things are heating up! With the Alibaba x Buhler Food Safety AI Challenge, the StartupSG prizes and the ADB Ventures Pilot Grant and the FFA prize, we have plenty of interesting startups and innovations in store for you.
