UACOI is thrilled to launch our inaugural Agrifood Research and Innovation Showcase (ARIS) at Republic Polytechnic on the 26th of September 2023. ARIS is an agritech gathering platform that promises to be the focal point for urban agriculture innovation, collaboration, and networking. This event aims to share insights and knowledge on urban agriculture from various parties including farmers, solution providers, government agencies and research institutions. Our guest of honour, Mr. Melvin Chow (Senior Director, Singapore Food Agency), and Mr. Ken Cheong, (CEO, Singapore Agro-Food Enterprises Federation) were present to officiate the launch and to share their valuable insights and goals for Singapore’s urban agriculture sector. 

In this first run of ARIS, UACOI was introduced to our audience, and the capabilities from both Republic Polytechnic (AGRI Centre) and Temasek Polytechnic (CROPS) were presented. 52 participants from 35 organisations joined us for the showcase, and they had the opportunity to explore Republic Polytechnic’s state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities, as well as network amongst peers and industry experts.  We look forward to your participation in our ARIS events of different agri-themes in 2024!
