From our recent trip to South Korea, we have had the privilege to get a first-hand view of how similar the challenges are for their F&B industry compared to what we have here in Singapore.

Plus, it highlights how the introduction of the Korean Start-up Centre (KSC) in Singapore will enable more collaborations between the start-ups of both countries.

Zeemart chief product officer Keith Tan told ST that the firm's solution can help small food business owners save the hassle of managing finances and allow them to focus on food quality.”
