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

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 program, 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 realize 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: back to back trips to Mongolia, India… and then the finals of the RP-Trendlines Incubation Programme today. We could not have done it without God’s grace, superb partnership with Nelson Wei Tan, our mentors & 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
