Honouring Excellence: The Feed9B Recognition Programme

Feed9B is proud to celebrate the visionary leaders and practitioners who are driving innovation and creating lasting impact within the Asia-Pacific food tech community. Through our prestigious recognition programme, we bestow two distinct honours: the Honoris Causa Fellowship (HonC FCSA) and the Honoris Causa Doctorate of Practice (HonC DPract).

These awards acknowledge those whose groundbreaking work transcends traditional boundaries, whether through transformative research or exemplary leadership in practice.

Honoris Causa Fellowship (HonC FCSA)
This honour is conferred upon individuals for their exceptional contributions to the advancement of food tech knowledge and accountability. We seek to recognise:
* Research Pioneers: Those with distinguished careers in academic or industrial research.
* Policy Influencers: Government officials and advisors whose work has significantly benefited the food tech ecosystem.
* Philanthropic Leaders: Benefactors whose advocacy and support accelerate progress in sustainable food systems and climate accountability.

Honoris Causa Doctorate of Practice (HonC DPract)
This citation celebrates hands-on impact and inspirational leadership. It honours practitioners—from C-Suite executives to community innovators—for:
* Transformative Leadership: Implementing initiatives that lead to tangible, positive change within the industry.
* Practical Innovation: Applying innovative approaches that enhance food tech practices and outcomes.
* Ethical Mentorship: Serving as a role model and catalyst for growth, inspiring the next generation of food tech leaders.

Nomination Process
Nominations are open year-round. Any Feed9B member can nominate a deserving individual by submitting a letter of nomination, supported by two testimonials from fellow members. All submissions are reviewed confidentially by a selection committee against our core criteria of impact, innovation, and integrity.

Benefits of Recognition
Honourees join an elite global network of peers, gaining enhanced prestige and new opportunities for collaboration. Benefits include exclusive invitations to speak at Feed9B events, publish in our platforms, participate in thought leadership panels, and access our professional community at preferred rates.

By recognising these outstanding contributors, Feed9B aims to inspire further innovation and build a stronger, more collaborative future for food tech in Asia and beyond.
