Singapore, Singapore, December 02, 2020 --(PR.com)-- In a one of its kind event, the launch of the Israel-Singapore Agri-Food Exchange (ISAFE) brings Israeli agriculture technology companies to the forefront to collaborate with Singaporean companies for the best possible agri-food tech solutions and techniques for sustainable food production.

Israel is a country that is landlocked and mostly arid. Yet, she produces almost 70% of its food requirements through innovative agricultural technology that maximizes output and minimizes wastage. As Singapore strives to work towards its goal of 30 By 30, which aims to produce 30% of Singapore�s nutritional needs by 2030, this creates the perfect synergy between both countries on many levels.

As former Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon puts it, �The international community must offer short-term emergency measures to meet critical needs. But it must also make longer-term investments to promote food production and agricultural development to enhance food security.� With the technical know-hows of both nations, The Startup Nation of Israel is pleased to take a small part in Singapore�s march towards the 30 by 30 goals.

With this, the Embassy of Israel is pleased to invite members of the media to the launch event of the Israel-Singapore Agri-Food Exchange (ISAFE) organized in collaboration with Padang & Co. that will be held on December 3, 2020, 3pm, via Zoom. The main event will then be held on February 3-4, 2021, with more details to follow.

Speaking at the launch event will be:

Sagi Karni
Ambassador of Israel to Singapore

Lim Chuan Poh
Chairman, SFA

Jonathan Berger
CEO, The Kitchen Hub

Michal Levy
Senior Deputy Director-General, Agricultural Innovation
The Ministry of Agriculture
