Accelerating capital into agrifood innovation
The Further Food & Ag Investment Summit will debut on 3 November 2025 at the Guoco Midtown Network Hub in Singapore, bringing together early and growth-stage companies, investors, and corporates in a curated, invite-only format designed to unlock capital, customers, and accelerate solutions to the region’s most pressing agrifood challenges.
Held in partnership with AgFunder, a global leader in agrifoodtech venture investing and intelligence, the Summit is a curtain-raiser to Singapore International Agri Week (4–6 November). It has been purpose-built to address the significant funding gap for critical Food and Ag innovations in Asia Pacific, with a focus on curated 1-to-1 meetings, interactive panels, and networking opportunities.
Designed as a catalyst rather than a conference, Further focuses on tangible outcomes: to accelerate deals, partnerships, and scalable solutions.
Closing Asia’s agrifood funding gap
Asia-Pacific produces over half of the world’s food, but attracts barely a quarter of global agrifood investment. This gap underscores both a challenge and a multi-trillion-dollar business opportunity to build climate-resilient, tech-enabled, and commercially scalable food systems.
The Further Summit was created to help close that gap – connecting investors directly with innovators building the next generation of agrifood solutions for Asia’s growing markets.
2025 investment frontiers featured at the Summit:
- AI & Digitisation – Building smarter, faster, and more resilient systems by harnessing the power of AI, robotics, and digital innovation to drive productivity and growth across the food and agri-value chain.
- Regenerative Agriculture & Nature-Based Solutions – Driving a climate-positive future through regenerative farming, sustainable aquaculture, and nature-positive approaches that restore soil, ocean, and ecosystem health.
- Novel Ingredients & Bio-Innovations– Scaling the next generation of protein and bio-based ingredient breakthroughs – from plants and precision fermentation to cellular agriculture and enzymes – transforming how Asia feeds itself.
Catalysing collaboration across capital and industry
The Summit convenes more than 100 investors, corporate leaders and innovators, including AgFunder, Clay Capital, Better Bite Ventures, ING, Mirova, The Radical Fund, Terratai and Toyo Seikan.
Confirmed early and growth-stage participants include Living Roots, Zentide, Eclipse Ingredients, OlsAro, Yindii, and Teraxxy, alongside leading innovators from across Asia and the globe.
“Across Asia, a wave of dynamic entrepreneurs are driving bold solutions for food and climate. The Further Summit is built for them – we’re passionate about building a community where founders can connect directly with investors and partners to turn ambition into traction, driving real change in how we feed and sustain the planet.” said Jennifer Yuen, Co-founder, Further.
“Transforming our food system requires both capital and collaboration, none more so than in Asia-Pacific. That’s why AgFunder has partnered with the Further Summit to spotlight leading innovators and work with investors to build a stronger capital stack for the region and sector as a whole. We believe this kind of collaborative platform is essential to scaling solutions that will redefine the future of Asia’s agrifood industry,” said John Friedman, Asia Director, AgFunder.
