Call for AgriTech and FoodTech startups to participate in the ‘Future Food Asia Award 2017’

 7 years ago    

logoStartups across sectors are booming. When we say ‘across sectors’ we literally mean it! The food tech startups and new firms in the arena of AgriTech are making it really big. With 4.5bn people in a fragmented region, Asia – Pacific (APAC) needs a more developed innovation ecosystem to address local challenges, such as its lower per capita GDP, vastly varying geographies, and evolving food consumption patterns. To make this growth bigger and better than ever before, ID Capital Pte Ltd has come up with one of its kind – ‘Future Food Asia Awards’.

About the event:

Future Food Asia is the first-of-its-kind platform for Agtech and Foodtech innovations in APAC. In partnership with multinationals, government organizations, startups and research teams, they are building an integrated innovation network. In continuation, the organizers are looking for agile startups to innovate and disrupt the food value chain.

ID Capital is an investment and consulting boutique firm founded by Isabelle Decitre and headquartered in Singapore. Over the course of the last two years, ID Capital has screened and sourced 100 Agritech/Foodtech deals and has been actively involved in the closing of two Venture Capital investments in this sector.
