This year’s summit is expected to attract stakeholders from across the regional and global agri-food ecosystem, including food and beverage companies, agribusinesses, technology providers, investors, policymakers and startups.
Ministerial involvement
Furthermore, the 2026 edition is taking place the same week as the ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry (AMAF) meeting.
As the anchor event of Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW), the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Summit is expected to have high-level ministerial activity throughout the summit period, with policymakers from ASEAN, Japan, South Korea and China.
This creates new opportunities for dialogue between public and private sector stakeholders working to strengthen food security, sustainability and agricultural competitiveness across the region.
Pre-summit Investment Forum
Investment continues to be a major focus of the programme as it seeks broaden participation across both the Investment Forum and the main summit by attracting a wider range of capital providers, spanning venture capital and private equity firms through to institutional and philanthropic investors.
To support this ambition, the event has introduced a new panel discussion dedicated to infrastructure investment, highlighting the role of long-term capital in building more resilient food systems.
The session is expected to bring together leading asset managers and institutional investors deploying capital on behalf of major public and private funds.
The organisers have confirmed the participation of Fidelity International and Macquarie of Australia as the summit’s investment agenda expands.
As the anchor event of Singapore International Agri-Food Week, the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Summit is organised by William Reed in partnership with Temasek and the Singapore Food Agency.
Registration for the 2026 edition is now open, with further speaker and programme announcements expected in the lead-up to the event.
