A social enterprise, Otolith advocates for circular ecosystems by demonstrating BSF and its multifaceted role in reducing carbon footprints through waste management while fostering sustainable agricultural production on a global scale.

    The Future of Food showcase by Enterprise Singapore and SATS Ltd gives a glimpse into the food of tomorrow, through a multi-course omakase dining experience. From alternative proteins, urban agriculture, functional foods and side-stream valorisation, this culinary showcase will feature disruptive agrifood innovations that have the potential to address the challenges of food security, health and nutrition needs, and climate resilience. Attendees will also hear the trailblazers of Singapore's agrifood ecosystem on their market offerings, including Float Foods, Vitality Foods, and Mottainai Food Tech.

    A pivotal event shaping the global AgriFoodTech landscape is "The SPARK" powered by Impact Circle, Innovate360, Bioeconomy Corporation, SPACE-F, and Informa Markets. Scheduled for April 24th at 3:30 PM in the Sustainable Food Future Seminar Theatre at Hall 7, this event will see 21 AgriTechFood changemakers converge to unveil their solutions poised to tackle food security challenges and transform the future of sustainable food.
