Tripartite collaboration for Food Safety Innovation
R&D STRATEGY TO INVIGORATE SINGAPORE’S FOOD INDUSTRY
GROWING SINGAPORE’S BRANDING FOR QUALITY AND SAFETY
Partnerships with leading international regulators:
11
Build Local Food Safety Scientific Capabilities• To secure Singapore’s food supply and economic value• To support growing innovation in food production by
developing new food safety standards (i.e. riskassessment protocols).
Set-up: PPP platform hosted by NTUMission Statement
1. Provides neutral platform for regulators, academia and industry to collaborate on food safety R&D
2. Close the gap in food safety assessment and validation, required by industry for new product development
3. Enables early exposure of regulators to industry R&D to: • Address emerging food safety issues • Accelerate product time-to-market
4. Provides talent development, capability building and training for food safety science
Desired Outcomes
Collaborative Mechanism:
• Able to embark on industry-funded food safety R&D projects
• Able to pool relevant public and private R&D performers together to tackle common area of interest in food safety
• Set up consortium funding model in the longer term
