German indoor vertical farm to establish R&D centre in Singapore

It will be co-located with the farm’s planned new mega farm in Changi.

&ever has announced the setup of a global R&D centre in Singapore at the Asia-Pacific Agri Food Innovation Summit, with support from the Economic Development Board.

The announcement follows the recent funding award under the Singapore Food Agency’s ‘30x30 Express’ Grant to build &ever’s new mega-farm in Changi by Q4 2021.

The planned farm is expected to annually produce more than 500 tonnes of locally grown greens.

“By teaming up with local higher learning institutions and established industry players, the R&D center will harness the innovation potential for new climate control concepts and advanced LED technologies, most optimal seeds and substrate combinations, as well as vision control and non-invasive crop monitoring solutions,” &ever added.

&ever also collaborates with global lighting systems leader Signify and plans to partner with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research to explore energy-saving solutions.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
