Where and when will the Global Agrifood Innovation Championship take place?
The Global Agrifood Innovation Championship will be held from September 8 to 9, 2026, at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. This event serves as the benchmark exhibition area for the development of the livestock industry in Taiwan and across Asia.
What are the highlights of the Global Agrifood Innovation Championship?
Co-organized by MY Exhibition (the organizer of Taiwan Smart Agriweek), international venture capital powerhouse Foodland Ventures, and Innovate360, Singapore's most iconic agrifood accelerator, the Championship stands as Asia's premier launchpad bridging breakthrough innovation with rapid market deployment. This year, we are deeply honored to receive the sponsorship and generous support from the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). Architected around the core pillars of "market expansion and commercial implementation," this elite initiative converges high-potential startups, institutional investors, and global buyers to fast-track regional scaling across the Asia market.
The competition zeroes in on identifying high-scalability, market-ready solutions across integrated Agricultural Technology (AgriTech), Restaurant Technology (RestaurantTech), and next-generation Food Technology (FoodTech). One champion will be selected from each of our two core tracks—AgriTech and FoodTech—with each winner receiving a prestigious SGD 10,000 cash prize to fuel their international growth.
Elevating the experience far beyond the stage, the Championship features a highly curated suite of visionary thematic forums, targeted investor-startup matchmaking, and an elite industry networking dinner. This high-octane environment guarantees startups direct, friction-free access to critical capital and corporate partners. It is meticulously designed to help ventures unlock Asian distribution channels, secure strategic investment resources, and seamlessly transition from technical validation to explosive commercial revenue.
Why is it co-located with Taiwan Smart Agriweek?
Taiwan Smart Agriweek is a premier trade exhibition covering six core industry chains: AGRITECH, AGRILIVESTOCK & FEED, AQUATECH, AGRIFRESH, AGRIGREEN and AGRIFOOD. Co-locating the Championship within this established 12-year legacy platform creates an unparalleled commercial multiplier effect. Rather than pitching in a vacuum, participating startups are positioned at the epicenter of live market demand—gaining friction-free access to international manufacturers, farm operators, and global buyers. For ambitious innovators, this integration seamlessly bridges the gap between competing on stage and securing the vital distribution channels needed to scale across the Asia-Pacific region.
