After six successful editions we are back to continue advancing conversations on innovation and entrepreneurship in the AgriFoodTech sector in APAC.


We are delighted to announce that Dr Ismahane Elouafi, Chief Scientist at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will be the Guest of Honour at this seventh edition of the FFA Conference, on 17th – 18th of May 2023.

 

In the position of Chief Scientist created two years ago, Dr Elouafi brings science and innovation into all the programs and decisions of the FAO. Recognized as one of the most influential women in science, Dr Elouafi is a visionary leader and strategic thinker, and a catalyst for new ideas and revolutionary strategies to deal with some of the world’s most pressing environmental and human problems.

“One of the main challenges countries face in leveraging innovations for sustainable agrifood systems is responding to the diverse needs and ecological contexts of the hundreds of millions of the world’s small-scale producers,” explains FAO Chief Scientist, Ismahane Elouafi.

“Encouraging their active participation and taking an adaptive approach to innovation is therefore a necessary condition for responding effectively to local contexts and, ultimately, for the transformation of agrifood systems.”

 

FFA will also be innovating the conference style and for the first time convene Chief Technology Officers, Chief Sustainability Officers and Investors for exclusive roundtables to identify and accelerate innovations and business models that are most critical to Asia-Pacific, to build a more sustainable and inclusive food future.

This new conference format, along with the well-established FFA Award of US$ 100,000, will combine the vision of leaders in the industry and investors with the energy of start-ups and entrepreneurs.


Stay tuned as more details will be communicated on the Award as applications open in January 2023.
