EU Pavilion shines at FHA-Food & Beverage Singapore 2025
The EU Pavilion at FHA-Food & Beverage Singapore 2025 was a vibrant showcase of Europe's finest culinary offerings. Held from 8-11 Apr at Singapore Expo, Asia's premier food and beverage trade show highlighted the European Union's focus on quality, sustainability and innovation.
The EU Pavilion opened with a ceremony led by H.E. Iwona Piórko, the EU Ambassador to Singapore. Bringing together industry leaders, culinary experts, and institutional representatives, the event set an exciting tone for the show. It underscored Europe's commitment to sharing its world-class food and beverage offerings with Singapore and beyond.
The highlight for the crowd was undoubtedly the daily live cooking demonstrations. Two renowned chefs, our very own Masterchef Inderpal Singh and Singapore-based French Chef François Mermilliod, drew crowds with their creative and engaging displays.
They showcased the versatility of EU-certified ingredients, including PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), PGI (Protected Geographical Indication), and organic produce, in both Asian and European dishes.
Chef Inderpal, celebrated for his modern Indian cuisine, reimagined traditional flavours with modern techniques, creating dishes that were both familiar and refined. Meanwhile, Chef François, founder of Singapore's Bar-A-Thym, brought the warmth of southern French cooking to life, using seasonal ingredients to highlight the natural quality of EU products.
These sessions bridging European and Asian culinary traditions showcased the superior quality of European ingredients, sparking interesting conversations among food enthusiasts and industry professionals.
Complementing the culinary displays, the EU Pavilion hosted a series of informative workshops led by European and Singaporean experts. Covering key categories like wine, spirits, cheese, olive oil, and meats, these sessions offered buyers and distributors valuable insights into EU food safety standards, traceability, and sustainability practices.
Attendees left with a deeper appreciation for what sets European products apart.
The EU's presence at FHA 2025 reinforced its strong partnership with Singapore, its largest trading partner in ASEAN. Supported by the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (EUSFTA) and the newly concluded EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement (EUSDTA), the EU Pavilion provided a platform to explore new trade opportunities and deepen commercial ties.
The enthusiasm from importers, hospitality professionals, and institutional stakeholders highlighted Asia's growing demand for authentic, high-quality European food and drink.
FHA-Food & Beverage Singapore 2025 was a triumph for the EU, cementing its reputation as a leader in the global food scene. The Pavilion blended culinary creativity with meaningful business connections, leaving attendees eager for more. As Asia's appetite for European products continues to grow, the EU is poised to bring even more to the table at future events.

Toyota Motor AGM Expected to Be Dominated by Group Buyout Talk
There isn't much doubt Toyota Motor Corp. Chairman Akio Toyoda will keep his seat on the board at the automaker's annual meeting, but signs of any rebound in shareholder support could be overshadowed by concern over his role in a contentious takeover of a group company. Although major proxy advisers have backed his reelection — reversing their stance after voting against him in 2024 — investors will get a chance later Thursday to air their grievances when Toyoda faces them publicly for the first time since the Toyota group launched a ¥4.7 trillion ($32.4 billion) bid to privatize Toyota Industries Corp.

Bitdeer Ramps Up Self-Mining Capacity, Ships 1.6 EH/s of SEALMINER A2s in May
Bitcoin BTC mining firm Bitdeer (BTDR) increased its self-mining capacity and expanded its international operations in May, according to the company's monthly update. The Singapore-based firm mined 196 BTC last month — up 18% from April — as it pushed forward the deployment of its SEALMINER A2 rigs across data centers in the U.S., Norway, and Bhutan. The company's proprietary hashrate now sits at 13.6 exahashes per second (EH/s), thanks to the energization of 3.9 EH/s worth of SEALMINER A1 machines and the ongoing rollout of the A2 line. Bitdeer also shipped 1.6 EH/s of SEALMINER A2 units to external customers during the month, signaling growing adoption of its mining hardware. The firm's infrastructure buildouts are also gaining pace. In Norway, 70 megawatts (MW) of a planned 175 MW expansion at Tydal are already online, with the remaining 105 MW expected to be energized by the end of June. In Bhutan, the Jigmeling site has begun energization, with plans to bring an additional 368 MW online for a total of 500 MW. A 221 MW facility in Massillon, Ohio, remains on track for phased completion through the second half of the year. The company's reach is extending into new markets. Bitdeer is preparing a 50 MW site in Ethiopia with support from a local partner and has secured a fully licensed property in Alberta, Canada, where it will build a natural gas power plant to support mining operations. In May, Tether exercised warrants from a previous financing round, providing Bitdeer with $50 million in cash in exchange for over 5 million shares. Looking ahead, Bitdeer says it remains on track to reach 40 EH/s in self-mining capacity by October. Sign in to access your portfolio
