Ingredients for the future of food
 Consumers are demanding healthier food and becoming more aware of food waste. Food technology companies are innovating to rise to these challenges. 

Producing food in urban centres
 As sensor technology and genetic tools converge, even cities now become hubs of agricultural activity.

With rapid population growth, increasing urbanisation and a shrinking rural labour force, food production methods need to be modernised if society is to feed 9.7 billion mouths by 2050.

More than two billion people lack access to clean and safe drinking water. Factors like water scarcity, urbanisation and climate change also continue to add pressures on the demand for water which is expected to grow.

A whiff of success through open innovation
 Understanding your core competency and aligning your goals with collaborators are key to open innovation, says Grace Chew, CEO of Hydroemission. 

More than just a buzzword, sustainability is now becoming a key differentiator for companies. By taking into account the environmental impact of the products and services they offer, enterprises can appeal to a wider consumer base that is increasingly aware of the consequences of human activity on the natural environment.
