Glocalink Singapore was established in 2019 with the aim of identifying and nurturing start-ups in the food and agri-tech sector, particularly in South East Asia, as one of the priority areas in view of the global movement towards sustainable food, agriculture and food security.
Establishment release: https://lne.st/2019/08/30/germi8/

Investment in food and agriculture is essential for the sustainability of humanity and is a key asset to be left for future generations. We believe that this mission can be achieved through co-creation with entrepreneurs who are willing to take on long-term challenges across generations, and that this is an important perspective not only in the food and agriculture sector, but also in many other fields.

Therefore, we have renamed Glocalink Singapore to 144 Ventures to signify our commitment to supporting entrepreneurs with a long-term vision of 144 years in all sectors and countries.
