IPI Innovation Advisor Harish Methil shares how SMEs in the agri-food sector have a unique opportunity to pioneer sustainable solutions amid rising global food demand and environmental pressure.

Leaders from major companies like Schneider Electric and Mondelez International share their insights on how SMEs can embark on sustainable growth journeys. Find out more from their keynote speeches at TechInnovation 2024.

• Enhancing Agri-Inputs: Focus on developing high-value, specialised agri-inputs like feed additives and bio-stimulants to reduce dependency on imports and strengthen food security.
• Sustainable Farming: Adopt innovative practices and vertical integration to make local farms more financially viable and resilient, while converting side streams into valuable products to support a circular economy.

• Circular economy minimises waste and extends product life, decoupling economic growth from resource consumption.
• Innovative solutions and collaborative efforts are essential for transitioning to sustainable practices in a circular economy.

We’ve all heard about sustainable food developments, but what about sustainable beauty?

The energy transition from fossil-based energy systems to renewable energy sources is critical for many nations. The role of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the renewable energy value chain is substantial as they serve as a key enabler for the widespread adoption and efficient utilisation of clean and renewable energy sources.

Running a business means continuously evolving to remain competitive in the market. In this modern age, businesses that fail to innovate digitally or adapt to the ever-changing habits of consumers risk becoming non-competitive. The rise of low-code or no-code development platforms is revolutionising the software industry, enabling businesses to build applications faster and more efficiently.
