Biosafe is excited to announce its participation in the Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia (AFTEA) 2024, held in Singapore from 19–21 November 2024.
Partnering with Business Finland and Business Sweden at a joint stand, Biosafe will join other leading Finnish and Swedish companies in this key event. Singapore has emerged as a global leader in the novel food sector, thanks to its progressive policies and commitment to food innovation, making it an ideal hub for companies looking to enter the Asia-Pacific market.
The Importance of Asia-Pacific for Biosafe
This will mark Biosafe’s first delegation to Singapore, a region critical to the company's research focus. Asia-Pacific nations, including South Korea, China, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand, are producing many of the innovative products Biosafe is actively researching. This event offers a strategic opportunity for Biosafe to engage with its Asian partners and clients, and to expand its presence in the region's fast-growing alternative protein and microbial product sectors.
Why Singapore?
Singapore’s unique position as a pioneer in the novel food industry, with a strong emphasis on self-sufficiency and sustainable food systems, makes it the perfect gateway for companies in the food and feed sectors. Biosafe’s involvement highlights the importance of microbial food safety and regulatory compliance as the market evolves.

Biosafe is committed to helping companies navigate the regulatory pathways needed to bring novel proteins and alternative protein products to market safely and efficiently. As leaders in food safety and regulatory affairs, we see The Future of Protein Production 2024 as an invaluable platform for staying at the forefront of protein innovation and regulatory developments. We’re especially keen to learn from our clients who are presenting and leading discussions at this summit, further driving progress in the industry.
