If China is the land of big numbers, this designation applies equally well to the food & agriculture sector where big numbers are signalling both the scale of problems plaguing the existing food system, and a growing appetite for innovation to fix its systemic challenges. Both investors and the government are actively seeking expertise to provide smart solutions that can upgrade China's agri-food system.

ID Capital is responding to this development by making the strategic step of expanding into China with the opening of ID Capital China. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Steven Zhang as the Managing Director of ID Capital China.

“In the past 20 years, China’s vast and complex food and agriculture systems developed against the backdrop of globalization and internet transformation. In the next 20 years, technologies such as biotechnology and data science are going to drive the transformation of the whole industry, and this is where ID Capital will be playing a catalytic role”, says Steven, who is an industry veteran and serial entrepreneur with 15 years of experience working in leading food & agriculture corporations such as Cargill and OSI Group.
