Feeding Singapore’s Passion for
Food with Technology
F&B businesses hungry for success
to learn from innovators
Singapore,
18 July 2017 Amidst rising costs of operations and materials, the food
and beverage (F&B) sector has been facing challenges on multiple fronts.
Although Singapore is a nation of tech-savvy, food enthusiasts who appreciate
convenient and hassle-free ways to enjoy their meals, F&B businesses
struggle with scarce manpower resources to cater to the needs of their
customers. To tap on this ever-growing market, F&B businesses appreciate
the need to leverage on the latest technologies to stay competitive in a
fast-changing landscape.
The F&B sector is among the many
industries strengthening their digital capabilities to build a more resilient
business model that is ready for the future economy. Market researcher
Euromonitor reported in May 2017 that harnessing innovative technology would
allow F&B businesses to be more efficient, allocating limited crew to tasks
requiring higher productivity.
The upcoming Digital
Transformation Exchange (DTE) session will feature service providers
for FoodTech Solutions. Organised by the Action Community for
Entrepreneurship (ACE), DTE is a platform for knowledge-sharing and
potential adoption of technologies. Each thematic session will focus on sectors
such as Cyber Security, Logtech, Fintech and Education Technology, facilitating
the synergy between SMEs’ and corporations’ business knowledge and the
technological resources of startups. DTE aims to foster the collaborative
spirit between these firms to leverage on each other’s areas of expertise,
progressing towards greater success.
The FoodTech Solutions
session will focus on trends and opportunities in the F&B sector
and how F&B businesses can tap on these smart technologies to boost
business growth. The startups will be sharing on their knowledge with F&B
business owners and SMEs who wish to improve operational efficiency and achieve
stronger business growth.
