Enterprise Singapore is launching Asia’s Great Snack Challenge 2021, in collaboration with beloved food brands like Mr. Bean, Polar Puffs & Cakes, Haidilao Hot Pot, Tong Garden and Uncle Saba’s, to find the next innovative snack. If you have an idea for the next best-selling snack in Singapore and the rest of Asia, enter one of the tracks below and join this challenge for a chance to see your idea hit the shelves!

Snacks are believed to be the future of food. They are such a great source of joy and provide a sense of comfort. In fact, Mondelez International’s 2019 Global Consumer Snacking Trend Study reported that 61% of adults globally cannot imagine their life without snacks.

Snacks are also one of the fastest-growing food categories within Singapore’s food industry, spurring the F&B players to create locally-made snacks with Asian and International flavours.
