Food Innovation Product Award (FIPA) aims to bring together food manufacturers and tertiary students from ITE, Polytechnics and Universities to collaborate and co-create new and innovative food products.
SFMA has organised two editions of the Food Innovation Product Award (FIPA) in 2016 and 2018, and brought together 48 food manufacturers and tertiary students to collaborate and co-create new and innovative food products through an innovation process to gain consumer and market insights, and facilitate the commercialisation of novel food ingredients, processing methods and products.
