Constellar and MY Exhibition Partner to Boost Agri-Food Tech in Singapore and Taiwan

Constellar and MY Exhibition Co., Ltd have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the agri-food technology and aquaculture sectors in Singapore and Taiwan. This collaboration is set to play a pivotal role in leveraging technology to advance Asia's agriculture industry, promoting innovation, sustainability, and economic growth across the region.

Singapore, recognized as the largest agrifood tech ecosystem in Southeast Asia, is home to over 122 companies and has secured US$1.4 billion in funding since 2013. This strong ecosystem positions Singapore as a leader in innovation incubation and the adoption of agrifood and aquaculture technologies. With its robust shared infrastructure and innovation hubs, Singapore serves as an ideal hub for regional and international companies seeking to advance their agritech capabilities.

Taiwan, on the other hand, is renowned for its high-tech industry and research and development expertise. Taiwan has uniquely integrated these strengths into its agricultural sector, enhancing food self-sufficiency and addressing environmental challenges through advanced techniques and management practices. This has positioned Taiwan as a global leader in sustainable and traceable agricultural production.

Supported by the Asia Sustainable Technology Enterprise Partnership (ASTEP), the partnership between Constellar and MY Exhibition will facilitate knowledge exchange, advance research and development, and inspire transnational collaborations. Constellar organizes the Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia (AFTEA), while MY Exhibition is behind Taiwan Smart Agriweek (TSA) and the International Aquaculture and Fisheries Expo Taiwan (IAFET).

Paul Lee, Chief Executive (Markets) of Constellar, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "This collaboration not only aligns with Constellar’s vision of convening industry stakeholders but also underscores our shared commitment to advancing the agrifood tech and aquaculture sectors. By leveraging the combined strengths of both organizations, AFTEA, TSA, and IAFET will serve as vital platforms for industry leaders to network, innovate, and accelerate the pathway towards secure, sustainable, and climate-friendly agri-food systems."

Irene Liu, General Manager of MY Exhibition Co., Ltd., highlighted the significance of this partnership, particularly as Taiwan Smart Agriweek marks its tenth anniversary. "Our collaboration with Constellar will not only enhance agricultural technology exchange between Singapore and Taiwan but also accelerate the export of Taiwan’s technology to southbound markets. This partnership will create new opportunities in the agri-tech ecosystem, supporting countries in achieving their goals for food self-sufficiency and safety."

This strategic alliance is poised to drive significant growth and innovation in the agri-food tech and aquaculture sectors, with both Singapore and Taiwan playing leading roles in shaping the future of agriculture in Asia.
