Temasek, Wavemaker, Breakthrough Energy team up for agritech venture
Singapore’s state investor Temasek is partnering with investment firms Wavemaker Impact, Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and GenZero to create a new agritech startup that will focus on minimising the carbon impact of rice cultivation.
