The Foodtech Frontier Challenge brings together global startups, and solution providers from around the world to collaborate with leading food industry players on real-world innovation challenges.
This challenge provides a platform for innovators to co-develop breakthrough solutions that push the boundaries of taste, texture, nutrition, and sustainability — and to accelerate their pathway to commercial partnerships and market adoption. The challenge statements have been categorized under three broad themes: Ingredients, Processing, and Sustainability.
Across Asia and beyond, the food industry is undergoing rapid evolution. Consumers are seeking healthier, more sustainable choices without compromising on indulgence or sensory experience. From developing cocoa alternatives and heat-resilient chocolate to next-generation fats, oils, and functional ingredients, these challenge statements represent the cutting edge of food innovation.
This initiative is designed to help researchers and R&D teams bring promising foodtech research to market by connecting them directly with leading global food companies.
