Running until Friday, 11th April, the event was formally opened by Singaporean minister of state / minister of trade and industry Alvin Tan, Australian high commissioner to Singapore Allaster Cox, WorldChefs president Andy Cuthbert, and Informa Markets’ vice-president in Asia Ian Roberts.

Tan said of the event: “I’m proud to share that over 70 Singapore companies are showcasing at the Singapore Pavilion at FHA F&B 2025. Our companies carry with them the strength of the Singapore brand: a mark of quality, innovation, and excellence. In a more uncertain, fragmented, turbulent world, our food manufacturing sector must continue to stay global, stay creative and stay green.”

Cuthbert added: “FHA F&B 2025 continues to be a vital stage for culinary excellence and global collaboration. It’s inspiring to see chefs, producers, and innovators coming together to shape the future of food.”

These segments are designed to meet the evolving needs of culinary professionals and food enthusiasts alike.

For this run of FHA-F&B, Australia is the partner country thanks to a collaboration with the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade). 

Cox said of this: “As Partner Country of Honour at FHA F&B 2025, Australia is proud to showcase the strength of our food and beverage industry on this global stage. Our longstanding partnership with Singapore, built on quality, sustainability, and shared ambition, continues to create new opportunities through strong trade ties and the Australia-Singapore Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.”
