Asia Pacific Agri Food Conference 2026
The Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Summit returns to Suntec Singapore from 27-29 October 2026 as the flagship event of Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW). Organised in partnership with Temasek and the Singapore Food Agency, the Summit will bring together more than 800 senior leaders from across the global agri-food value chain, including agribusinesses, food and ingredient companies, policymakers, investors, technology innovators, and start-ups.
As food and agricultural systems across Asia-Pacific continue to evolve in response to shifting trade dynamics, supply chain realignment, climate pressures, technological advancement, and changing investment priorities, the Summit will examine how innovation, policy, and capital can support resilient and sustainable growth across the sector.
New for 2026, the programme will feature a dedicated Investment Forum on 26 October, focused on financing innovation, strategic partnerships, and the future of agri-food investment. Over three days, participants will hear from more than 200 expert speakers through high-level plenaries, focused breakout sessions, an expanded exhibition, a start-up arena, and curated networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and commercial partnerships.
