At the NEA Environmental Health Institute's (EHI) Wolbachia Mosquito Facility, delegates toured six specialised rooms detailing how Singapore is fighting dengue and successfully suppressing urban mosquito populations through Wolbachia-carrying male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Attendees also learnt about surveillance techniques such as the Gravitrap, and wastewater monitoring and sampling.

Impact Showcase: SunGreenH2

SunGreenH2's learning journey featured its high-performance electrolyser stack manufacturing process, operated with their strategic manufacturing partner, MMI Systems. 

PAS delegates explored how the efficiency and scalability of its proprietary nanostructured electrodes, made from earth-abundant materials, are enabling affordable renewable hydrogen production at scale while reducing cost. SunGreenH2 aims to make it easier for industrial customers in hard-to-abate sectors to adopt low-carbon or zero-carbon technologies and shift away from fossil fuels.

Seven booths across three days of PAS offered opportunities for meaningful exchange, hands-on demonstrations, as well as a showcase of transformative programmes, products, and services. 

Delegates explored exhibits by Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, the Amplifier mentorship programme, Co-Axis, Dalio Philanthropies, Infoxchange, Temasek Foundation, and Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory — sparking new connections and opportunities for partnerships.

TLL's booth featured initiatives such as Aqualita Ecotechnology's high-tech container fish farming systems, which enhance fish health, productivity, and food security.

Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL) spotlighted its key research collaborations, such as in insect biology research and net-zero agriculture and aquaculture — including the Decarbonising Rice Project, which won the prestigious GAEA Award. The project aims to make rice farming more climate-friendly by reducing methane emissions, conserving water, and increasing yield.

Other projects showcased include tomatoes grown from high performance precision agriculture (HiPPA), and fortified rice vermicelli produced in an initiative to improve everyday nutrition.

Check out highlights from TLL’s participation at the Summit, including the GAEA Awards Ceremony, a PAS partner event.
