IPHatch is a programme that uniquely matches technologies from multinational corporations with start-ups to give them a boost to accelerate their businesses.
 
This year, the focus will be on sustainable food production and agritech. Traditional farmers or start-ups are starting to incorporate new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and analytics to optimise food production or improve the efficiency of the value chain. To close the gap in availability and accessibility of enabling technologies, one of the ways is to tap into the R&D investments from the corporates to bring about such social and economic impact in this sector through the IPHatch programme.
 
Together with one of our corporate partner Panasonic Factory Solutions Asia Pacific, we will be launching an open innovation platform “Sustainable Start-up Factory” for start-ups in the food and tech area. We welcome businesses and entrepreneurs to join us.
