Partnership aims to enhance global food security through innovation
Israeli Ambassador to Bangkok Orna Sagiv highlighted the potential for Israeli food technology to strengthen Thailand's agriculture sector during the 'Savor the Future of Food: Satisfy Your Hunger with Israel's Innovation' event in Bangkok.
She praised Thailand's role as the 'kitchen of the world' and its significant contribution to global food supply.
Ambassador Sagiv proposed a partnership between Thailand and Israel, leveraging Israel's innovative agricultural solutions and food technology to enhance Thailand's agricultural and food sectors.
This collaboration is seen as a mutually beneficial opportunity, with Thailand acting as a gateway to Southeast Asia for Israel.
Growing interest this year between Thai companies and Israeli startups, particularly in food tech ventures, underscores the potential of this partnership.
Israeli startups offer advanced innovation but seek market access and management support, while Thai conglomerates have the local experience and capability to introduce Israeli innovations to the Southeast Asian market.
Such cooperation is anticipated to contribute to global food security solutions.
