ADM和亚洲可持续食品平台是一家由Temasek全资产的公司，专注于加速亚洲可持续食品的商业化，已签署了一项协议，为50-50合资企业铺平了道路，以为服务提供技术开发和精确发酵，为服务提供服务。在新加坡和广泛亚太地区，消费者对各种基于生物的产品（包括替代蛋白）的需求不断增长。

The proposed joint venture would be a one-stop shop for both startups and mature businesses looking for support in food-grade fermentation, downstream processing, lab services and consulting. It would have the capability to assist customers, from bench to pilot scale, and would specialize in the development of microbial-based proteins to create alternatives to meat and dairy proteins and other in-demand food and beverage solutions.

“We’re proud to advance a proposed partnership with Temasek’s Asia Sustainable Foods Platform and the Singapore Economic Development Board to bring our unparalleled precision fermentation expertise to companies across APAC who are meeting the growing demand for alternative proteins,” said ADM Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano. “ADM is a leader in microbial solutions, and from our recent investment in Acies Bio to our work with partners like Nature’s Fynd, Air Protein, and now Temasek, we’re finding new ways to power growth and offer exciting, innovative solutions to serve the nutritional needs of the world’s growing population.”

“We’ve talked to innovators, from startups to mature food providers, in Singapore and across APAC, and they have told us that they are eager and waiting for a partner that can provide support for food-grade precision fermentation technology,” says Joe Taets, president of ADM’s APAC business.

“This first-of-its-kind joint venture in Singapore would meet that demand, and in doing so, will help further the development of the alternative protein industry in APAC.”

Mathys Boeren, CEO, Asia Sustainable Foods Platform, says as an end-to-end enabler, operator, and investor, the Asia Sustainable Foods Platform will provide bespoke solutions and support to innovators at each stage of their growth cycle.

Boeren说：“我们与ADM的合作伙伴关系将使我们能够更好地支持创新者通过飞行员发射有效地扩展其发酵创新，并最终加快其商业规模的规模和上市。”

The proposed joint venture would be supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board.
