In the alternative protein world, Singapore has quickly emerged as a power player and a regional hub for aspiring food brands looking to branch out into this increasingly lucrative market.

Alternative protein is the umbrella term used to describe plant-based meat (like the hugely popular Beyond Meat burger patties) as well as plant-based dairy and seafood. Cell-cultivated meat which is essentially meat grown in labs, is also a growing facet of the alternative protein sector.
