Dilution Air Purification Systems (DAPS)
This technology represents an innovative approach to indoor air quality (IAQ) management, focusing on sustainability and energy efficiency. Leveraging the principle of dilution, outdoor airflow can be adjusted dynamically to balance energy consumption and air quality. The system uses a predefined control algorithm to determine the optimal mix of outdoor and recirculated air based on the concentration of particulate matter or carbon dioxide in the indoor environment. Users can customise the system's operation based on their IAQ requirements, ensuring efficient ventilation while minimising energy usage. This low-cost solution aims to tackle challenges associated with IAQ, energy efficiency, and sustainability that cannot be accomplished by traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Instead, integrating decentralised air purification technologies into building design and urban planning initiatives, indoor pollutants can be removed while minimising operational costs and environmental impact. City planners can now better prioritise IAQ and energy efficiency from the outset, ensuring that future developments contribute to healthier, more livable communities. Public health, well-being, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience can be strengthened.

Low Sodium Salt Naturally Extracted From Rice
Globally, the average daily salt intake is 10.8g—more than twice the WHO’s recommended limit—leading to widespread health issues. In Singapore, 90% of residents consume nearly double the recommended sodium intake, contributing to prevalent health concerns like hypertension and dyslipidemia. Reducing sodium intake is a cost-effective way to enhance public health. However, simply lowering salt content arbitrarily can result in an unacceptably bland taste and compromised flavor stability. Potassium chloride (KCl) is commonly used as a salt substitute, but it has a bitter aftertaste and poses potential health risks, particularly for individuals with kidney disease or those on specific medications. This technology aims to reduce sodium intake with a natural rice umami extract, developed using advanced sodium reduction technology without MSG or alternatives(KCI). This innovative approach amplifies the salty taste sensation, and ensures the natural umami of rice is extracted to its fullest potential. As a result, this technology not only enhances flavor delivery but also promotes healthier consumption by reducing sodium intake without compromising taste.

Seeking Biological Solutions for Urban Farming in Singapore
With the focus on food security and sustainability, urban farming is gaining traction in Singapore. Most farmers who are new to the industry still rely heavily on pesticides for pest control and crop protection. Although effective, the use of pesticides pose several concerns such as: Health and Environmental Risks: Pesticide residues in food pose potential health hazards, while excessive use can lead to soil degradation, water contamination, and harm to beneficial insects and biodiversity. Regulatory and Market Pressure: Stricter regulations on pesticide use and growing demand for organic and naturally grown produce create the need for sustainable solutions. In addition, the educated consumers increasingly prefer pesticide-free vegetables, thereby driving the need for natural alternatives. Biological solutions such as biofertilizers, bionutrients, and biostimulants offer a promising alternative to agriculture. These solutions can: Enhance Plant Growth: Improve nutrient uptake and plant resilience through naturally derived growth stimulants. Improve Soil Health: Support microbial activity and enhance soil fertility without chemical degradation. Reduce Dependence on Chemical Fertilizers and Pesticides: Provide natural pest resistance and nutrient supply. Promote Sustainable Production of Asian Leafy Greens: Crops such as bak choy, butterhead lettuce, and spinach Farmers are seeking to collaborate with companies with biological solutions to run validation trials in their farms.
Seeking for Farm Manure Management Solutions
Agricultural activities in Asia Pacific region generate significant amounts of manure from various farming operations, including: Layer Hens: A layer hen produces approximately 0.08–0.12 kg of manure per day. Cattle Farming: Dairy and beef cattle generate an average of 30 kg of manure per day per animal. Pig Farms: Pigs produce about 2–4 kg of manure per day. Manure accumulation presents several environmental and operational challenges such as odour pollution, water contamination, greenhouse gas emissions and pathogen proliferation. Despite these challenges, manure has significant potential when processed effectively. It can be converted into valuable resources such as: Biogas & Bioenergy Biochar & Carbon Sequestration Organic Fertilizers and Soil Conditioners Farms have found solutions that produce good quality fertilisers and soil conditioners with their manure. However the amount of manure generated is more than what they can use and would like to work with innovation technologies to manage and convert their farm's manure efficiently. 
Seeking Solutions To Reduce Sodium Content In Food
According to the Health Promotion Board (HPB) in Singapore, 90% of Singapore residents' consumption of sodium exceeds the daily recommended intake, with the average consumption at 3620 mg, nearly double of the recommended 2000 mg per day. As a result, one in six Singapore residents report health problems like hypertension and hypolipidaemia. In an effort to curb this, HPB launched the "Less Salt, More Taste" campaign in 2024 to encourage the food manufacturing and food service industry to change their recipes and add less salt and sauces, or switch to use lower-sodium alternatives for salt, sauces and seasonings. Manufacturers are also encouraged to increase the supply of lower-sodium ingredients for the food service sector. Consumers are also encouraged to choose low sodium options, or use less salt in their home cooking. This sodium reduction strategy aims to reduce Singaporeans’ sodium intake by 15% by 2026.
