Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia 2022

Singapore is an important driver for innovation and investment in the region. It therefore unsurprisingly also pioneers in the field of innovative agricultural/horticultural cultivation methods and new forms of food production. Singapore's geographical characteristics as a densely populated city state, but also the demands of a still growing world - especially urban - population, urgently require new approaches and technologies for a more sustainable production and processing of food. In 2021, the influential Singapore state investment fund TEMASEK, greenlighted the cooperation of its subsidiary Constellar Exhibitions and the German Agricultural Society DLG for the development the new exhibition format Agri Food Tech Expo Asia (AFTEA). AFTEA is based on already established Constellar activities such as Superfood exhibition and the extensive agrifood and exhibition knowhow of the German DLG. 

The first edition of the AFTEA will focus on current topics such as controlled environment agriculture (CEA), vertical farming (VA), inhouse insect breeding & cultivation & processing, components and engineering for CEA, urban smart farming (USF), agriculture & urban protein, but also processing of plant-based protein sources and so called novel foods such as in-vitro meat, alternative protein sources.
