Panel // Scaling food biomanufacturing: What will reach commercial production?

Food biomanufacturing is moving from breakthrough science to a race for commercial viability. Across Asia, new production hubs are emerging — but which technologies can truly scale? This session explores the role of policy, investment, infrastructure and manufacturing strategy in moving beyond the pilot plant, alongside how R&D teams are balancing biological functionality, formulation needs, cost and customer demand. From precision fermentation and cell-based production to natural bioactives and next-generation fibres, where is the clearest path to commercial impact?
