Hear What Others Say

It is a privilege for Trendlines to enter this strategic collaboration, as RP has a strong talent pool of budding entrepreneurs coupled with its focus in the agrifood sector. The right people and a supportive ecosystem are key for start-ups to take off and thrive.

— Mr Anton Wibowo
CEO, Trendlines Agrifood Innovation Centre Pte. Ltd. (AFIC)
The Trendlines Group Ltd 

A big thank you to all the mentors and staff from Republic Polytechnic, The Trendlines Group and Enterprise Singapore for the opportunity and organising the industry-dedicated program to spur on more start-ups like ours!

— Julien Amet
Co-Founder, ColdCane Pte Ltd.  

To a by-stander, the agri-food ecosystem might feel like is it currently oversaturated with accelerator programs and demo days. Every time we launch a new programme, I always have a nagging fear that we will not be able to find sufficient companies of a high enough caliber to make up the numbers, but time and time again, I am proven wrong. I have come to realise that there is no such thing as too much help, the agrifood ecosystem is still growing and will continue to grow to greater heights!

— Keith Loo
Deal Flow Manager, Trendlines Agrifood Innovation Centre Pte. Ltd. (AFIC),
The Trendlines Group Ltd 

It was an eye opening session for me when I witnessed the impeccable presentation and the various deck of slides shown by the various teams to the panel of judges.

— Khai Rassidy
College Lecturer, SDH Institute 

It has been a hectic 3 weeks leading up to the finals of the RP-Trendlines Incubation Programme today. We could not have done it without the superb partnership with Nelson Wei Tan, our mentors and colleagues supporting us. Our hard work paid off… We are the champions!

— James Yin
CEO, V-Plus Agritech Pte. Ltd. 

Super happy to be given a chance to share my creations with everyone during the RP-Trendline Demo Day 2022 Finals. Thank you so much once again Republic Polytechnic.

— Zack Rashid
