Our TFoodS Story
TFoodS is the annual event on food science, technology, and innovation organized by TUMCREATE. As a scientific conference, TFoodS convenes international experts in food texturization, agriculture, nutrition, food chemistry, health, and the circular economy to present cutting-edge research and foster interdisciplinary dialogue. We bridge academia, industry, and public agencies to shape the future of food! TFoodS 2026 also showcases pioneering research from TUMCREATE’s “Proteins4Singapore” programme, supported by the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore, under the CREATE initiative. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the food revolution - dive into the future of food at TFoodS 2026!

ABOUT US
About TUMCREATE
TUMCREATE is a multidisciplinary research platform of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) at the Singapore Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE). The international teams of TUMCREATE are joining forces with partner universities, public agencies, and industry collaborators for the advancement of future technologies.
About Proteins4Singapore
The flagship research programme ‘Proteins4Singapore’ is combining functionality-driven cultivation of alternative non-animal protein sources with innovative processing and extraction methods and novel reverse food engineering approaches. To achieve our ambitious goals, our renowned scientists assemble a large diversity of scientific backgrounds: Plant and algae experts optimise controlled-environment agriculture to produce soybeans and micro-algae indoors. Protein isolates, extracts, and ferments will be processed to create plant-based products with improved texture, flavour and an outstanding nutritional profile designed. We include the proficiency of microbiologists to evaluate the gut microbiome interaction with our products and sensory experts to ensure the best flavour profiles. An integrated LCA will evaluate the validity and opportunities to scale-up and commercialise our model, benchmarking each technological process and the whole production chain against established methods.
Proteins4Singapore is initiated and conducted by the excellent experts of Technical University of Munich (TUM), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the A*STAR Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation (SIFBI), and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). This research programme is supported by the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore under its Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) programme.
