Our Process
Our Innovation Process
1. Research & Develop
We combine food science and biotechnology to explore novel nutrition pathways.
2. Validate & Test
Every concept undergoes scientific evaluation and quality testing.
3. Scale & Sustain
We move from lab to real-world production through sustainable systems and local partnerships.
The Goal
Our Mission
Food Innovate Singapore is dedicated to bridging the gap between scientific research and practical nutrition solutions.
Guided by the principles of food safety, accessibility, and sustainability, we strive to develop functional, consumer-centric food innovations that enhance wellness — from mycoproteins and β-glucans to nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and functional beverages.
Led by Dr. Asma Khan, a distinguished food scientist and technologist, our work focuses on evidence-based innovations that improve health outcomes and meet evolving consumer needs.
To drive meaningful change in global nutrition, we develop sustainable, science-backed solutions that improve human health and protect our planet.
The Outlook
Our Vission
We envision a world where sustainable nutrition and scientific innovation work hand in hand to improve lives and safeguard the planet.
At Food Innovate Singapore, we aim to redefine how the world nourishes itself — making health, longevity, and wellness accessible to all through responsible food science.
Our vision is to see mycoproteins, β-glucans, and other bioactive compounds become everyday tools for chronic disease prevention, functional wellness, and planetary health — shaping a resilient global food system that supports both people and the environment.
Empowering sustainable nutrition for a healthier planet and healthier people.
