Taking place in Singapore from 3–4 June 2019, 10 finalist start-ups will have the opportunity to present their technologies to a room full of industry leaders and investors, and win a prize of US$100,000. The finalists will be selected by the jury panel, which consists of: Gérard Jacquin, former Director of Partnerships, Transfer and Innovation at INRA, Europe’s agricultural research institute; Dr Ralph Graichen, Director of Food and Nutrition at A*STAR’s (Agency for Science, Technology and Research) Biomedical Research Council; Victoria de la Huerga, Vice President of ADM Ventures, Archer Daniels Midland Company; and Isabelle Decitre, Founder and CEO of ID Capital. There will also be two additional innovation prizes. ADB Ventures — a pilot program of the Asian Development Bank focused on accelerating technologies into emerging markets for climate impact and inclusive economic growth — will recognise two technology solutions that improve agriculture’s climate impact, and commit as much as $250,000 to pilot winning solutions in emerging Asia Pacific markets. As artificial intelligence forays into this industry, FFA 2019 will also demonstrate the rising power of AI through a new challenge in partnership with cloud computing provider Alibaba Cloud and global technology supplier Bühler Group. With strong economic growth, a large talent pool and funding heavyweights, Asia Pacific is poised to contribute to the global momentum around agritech and foodtech. Applications are open and will close mid-April 2019. Image credit: ©iStockphoto.com/AGPhotography
