Food For Healthy Aging Innovation Acceleration Program 2023
The Food For Healthy Aging Innovation Acceleration Program 2023 is co-organised by Singapore Food Manufacturers' Association (SFMA), Food Innovation & Resource Centre (FIRC), Enterprise Singapore (EnterprieSG) and supported by Health Promotion Board.
It is a 5-month (July - December 2023) product development programme designed to provide support to traditional local food enterprises in reformulating existing products and develop more senior-friendly food options to cater to the aging population and address the needs on the limited choices in Singapore and Southeast Asia. The program also seeks to ensure that the products created are commercially viable, healthy, nutritious and delicious, in line with the Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS) Nutrition Guidelines by the Health Promotion Board (HPB).
