Singapore is one of the most innovation-forward food markets in the world. With a national goal to produce 30% of its food domestically by 2030 and limited land or labour, the country has become a hub for high-efficiency, technology-driven solutions.
Canadian companies working in traceability, sustainable packaging, precision fermentation, or functional ingredients will find a market that moves quickly, values IP, and opens doors across Southeast Asia.
While Singapore’s domestic market is relatively small, it serves as a regional testbed. Success here often translates into commercial traction in surrounding ASEAN countries. The government also backs innovation through funding programs, tax incentives, and partnerships with accelerators and research hubs.
