Alternate Futures, a fund-backed Innovation Center was officially launched in Singapore through a strategic alliance with Agrifood Futures, to boost climate, food and energy investment across the region.

Alternate Futures said in a statement on Monday that it blends venture investment with innovation orchestration, by integrating capital, technology and ecosystems to design deployable, system-level solutions.

Unlike traditional venture models that fund isolated startups, Alternate Futures invests in interlocking portfolios of innovations designed to operate together in the real world.

“The world doesn’t need another green fund. It needs a new kind of architecture for innovation,

“Our goal isn’t to pick winners. It’s to build systems that work, where technologies reinforce one another and drive scalable, measurable impact,” said Keith Loo, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Alternate Futures.

Alternate Futures combines capital investment with hands-on deployment programs that accelerate early-stage startups into market-ready ecosystems.

Through a strategic alliance with Agrifood Futures, the Innovation Center will work closely with its global network including related company, Farmers2Founders.

Together, these partners form a connected ecosystem of innovation enterprises headquartered in Singapore and Australia, led by Joshua Soo, Dr Christine Pitt and Skye Raward.

This alliance allows AFIC to collaborate across borders, combining deep regional expertise and market access to accelerate the commercialization and scaling of agrifood and climate innovations.

“This alliance brings together three complementary forces: investment, innovation and impact,

“By linking Alternate Futures with our global ecosystem, we’re unlocking capital, capability and markets to enable solutions that regenerate entire systems, not just individual sectors,” said Joshua Soo, Co-founder and Director of Agrifood Futures.

As part of its launch at SIAW, Alternate Futures will be raising a new fund to back founders working across agri-food, materials, energy and data infrastructure, which are the four pillars of a regenerative economy.

The fund will support integrated “solution stacks”: purpose-built combinations of startups, technologies and financing models that interlock to drive system-level progress beginning in Southeast Asia.
