Food tech, industrial products lead manufacturing innovation based on deal volume – study

Private capital injected in food tech and industrial products in 2023 shows investors’ focus on the future.

Equity capital is still being channelled to industries that impact the future, a report by DealStreetAsia in partnership with Enterprise Singapore revealed.

According to “Singapore Venture Funding Landscape 2023: A Full-Year Study,” the verticals under Manufacturing, Trade, and Connectivity that received the most private capital were food tech and industrial products.

“The resolute focus on the future has continued to sustain interest in sectors such as industrial products, food tech, mobility tech, and agritech,” the report read.

“Commitments to the future of food sustainability remain strong, with alternative food products and agricultural solutions accounting for most of the deal activity in the food tech and agritech sectors,” it added.

The total value for food tech was $31.05m (US$23m) in 2023, lower than $145.8m (US$108m) in 2022, whilst industrial products surged to $250.1m (US$186m) from $5.4m (US$4m) in the same period.

Silicon Box made the highest equity deal under industrial products. This was valued at $187.65m (US$139m), with investors from BlueRun Ventures, Maverick Capital, TDK Ventures, and UMC Capital.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
