At a time the new GDPR is in full swing, our house photographer and videographer captured a few energy filled moments and some faux pas.
From the speakers we hear that it was not just good for the ego, but also meaningful for business. And from the audience we heard that it was cold and warm. Cold because air conditioning was overzealous. Surprised? Next year come with you scarf or jumper! But warm from the wealth of animated discussions, sometimes even heated debate.
Luckily everybody made it safe back home and there could even be some new startups/ investors couples coming out of this day. :)
We hope you enjoyed attending the event as much as we enjoyed building it up for you, and we couldn't have done it without the support of our partners - so a big thank you for them. However, we still have our minds (and hearts) open - so do leave us feedback using the link at the bottom of the page.
Finally, just like we curated the event with a fascinating set of start-ups, we've got a set of photos and quotes below that quite nicely sum up the day for us. |

VC investors are wrong to hunt for the one unicorn. Nobody wants a monopoly or duopoly in a critical segment of the food chain, the way it happens on the Internet. What the food system needs is hundreds of successful initiatives, it is not a winner-takes-all game....With the open access to knowledge, technologies and production, the innovative and impactful projects are most likely come from entrepreneurs solving rural problems than urban annoyance. FFAA winners have clearly demonstrate this new paradigm. - David Li, Shenzhen Open Innovation Lab and Key Note Speaker at Future Food Asia Award 2018 |

As JUST continues its expansion into Asia, we see a huge opportunity to provide delicious, affordable, healthier more sustainable food options in one of the largest global consumer markets where food security is a major concern. It’s clear there’s enormous demand for food innovation in the region and there’s a natural, cultural connection to our newest product Just Egg. If we launched JUST from scratch today, we'd probably start out in Asia.

Rarely we come across such a great platform where the goals and objectives are so clearly defined. Even if events are held that are advertised to be around the start ups- they are often given very limited time and exposure. This was a huge platform - where everything was done to ensure the focus was on us.

Future Food Asia was a fruitful experience for us. We were able to make incredibly meaningful connections, and have already planned field visits and trials of PureSpace’s prototype in the coming month with people we met in the room.

The Future Food Asia Award experience has been transformative for OneCrop. It was our first start-up pitching event. We need opportunities like FFAA to engage with influential individuals and organizations to accelerate our growth, otherwise we would still be sitting back in Australia trying to get heard.
