European Dairy from Ireland Responds to Growing Demand for Functional Nutrition
Increasing interest in science-backed ingredients positions Singapore as a key gateway for European dairy innovation in Southeast Asia
SINGAPORE, May 29 - The European Union is strengthening its engagement with Singapore as a regional hub for advanced food manufacturing and nutrition innovation. This comes as demand for functional dairy ingredients accelerates across Southeast Asia.
Led by Bord Bia – The Irish Food Board, the initiative is part of the “European Dairy: Ireland, Where Nature Meets Science” campaign, a €3.2 million investment co-funded by the European Union to strengthen Asia’s nutrition pipeline and foster long-term trade partnerships. The campaign showcases sustainable farming and scientific research behind European dairy production.
Singapore is a Strategic Gateway for Functional Nutrition in Asia
Singapore is globally recognised as a hub for innovation, positioned at the heart of Southeast Asia’s food ecosystem, and has an important role in regional product development and distribution. Manufacturers across ASEAN are increasingly seeking high-quality science-backed ingredients, as demand for targeted life-stage nutrition, preventative health products and functional foods is increasing. This is largely driven by the fact that Southeast Asia’s population is growing and aging rapidly, particularly in Singapore, leading to increased demand for functional foods to support healthy aging and overall wellbeing. Given limited domestic dairy production in Singapore, F&B innovators and manufacturers are driven to rely on imports and seek trusted international partners.
Ms. Lorna Allen, South East Market Manager of Bord Bia, mentioned, “Singapore is a key gateway for European dairy engagement in Southeast Asia, particularly as demand for functional and science-backed nutrition continues to grow. Ireland has exported €276 million value of dairy products to Southeast Asia in 2025, a y-o-y increase of 16.4%. Through the EU-funded campaign, Bord Bia is supporting closer collaboration between European dairy producers from Ireland and regional food and nutrition innovators.”
Dr Kalpana Bhaskaran, Deputy Director, industry partnerships and Head, Glycemic Index Research Unit at Temasek Polytechnic, commented, “Dairy ingredients play a vital role across the life course. With protein‑fortified and functional dairy products gaining strong momentum, the opportunity to improve population health through evidence‑based dairy innovation has never been greater.”
A Science-Led Advantage Supporting Industry Needs
European dairy from Ireland combines a natural grass-fed, pasture-based system with the support of advanced scientific research. This combination of natural production methods and scientific validation allows European dairy to meet the performance and quality requirements of manufacturers across Asia.
Dr. André Brodkorb, Senior Researcher, Teagasc Food Research Centre Moorepark, said, “Irish grass‑fed milk is scientifically proven to deliver superior nutritional benefits, with Teagasc research showing dairy cows who operate on an Irish grass-fed system, produced milk with higher percentages of omega-3 and conjugated linoleic (CLA) fatty acids compared to cows fed medium and low proportions of grass.”
European Dairy Powders at FHA Singapore 2026
Bord Bia brought leading European dairy suppliers from Ireland to Food & Hospitality Asia (FHA) in Singapore last April. Industry professionals attending FHA Singapore were invited to explore partnership opportunities and discover how European dairy from Ireland is supporting the next generation of nutrition solutions in Asia. Bord Bia focused on:
-
Functional dairy ingredients designed for sports nutrition, healthy ageing, life-stage nutrition, and foodservice.
-
Solutions that support product innovation for Asian consumers.
-
Opportunities to connect directly with suppliers for sourcing and collaboration.
Strengthening Collaboration Across the Region
As part of the European Union’s engagement in Singapore, Bord Bia is also facilitating a closed-door industry session bringing together stakeholders from research, development, and manufacturing. This reflects ongoing collaboration between European dairy stakeholders and regional partners, including organisations such as Temasek and Teagasc, to support innovation and knowledge exchange in functional nutrition.

GT vs RR: High-Voltage Qualifier 2 Clash Promises Thriller in IPL 2026
New Chandigarh, May 28 (BNP): Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a high-pressure Qualifier 2 encounter of IPL 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh, on Friday, May 29. The winner of the do-or-die clash will secure a place in the grand finale of the tournament.
The match promises to be an exciting contest between two sides entering the playoffs under contrasting circumstances. Gujarat Titans suffered a heavy defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1 and will be eager to bounce back strongly, while Rajasthan Royals head into the match with momentum after registering three consecutive victories.
GT had dominated RR by 72 runs during their previous league-stage meeting, but playoff cricket often presents a different challenge, with form and pressure playing decisive roles.
Much of the spotlight will be on Rajasthan Royals’ teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whose explosive batting has become one of the biggest talking points of IPL 2026. The 15-year-old batter from Bihar grabbed headlines with a stunning 97-run knock off just 29 deliveries in the Eliminator, helping RR storm ahead and strengthening his reputation as a match-winner.
If Sooryavanshi fires again, RR could gain an early advantage during the powerplay. However, his early dismissal may expose Rajasthan’s inconsistent middle order against Gujarat’s experienced bowling attack led by Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada.
For Gujarat Titans, improving their fielding will be a key concern after costly lapses in Qualifier 1 against RCB. Missed opportunities and dropped catches proved expensive as Rajat Patidar’s unbeaten 93 off 33 balls powered RCB to a massive total. GT will look to avoid similar mistakes against an aggressive RR batting lineup.
Weather could also play a minor role in the contest, with forecasts indicating a slight possibility of rain before the match in New Chandigarh, though no major disruption is currently expected.
Match Details:
Fixture: Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals – IPL 2026 Qualifier 2
Date: Friday, May 29, 2026
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh
In their previous meeting this season, Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 72 runs, but with a final berth at stake, both teams are expected to deliver a fierce contest under pressure.

10ZiG modernized zero clients strengthen cybersecurity and simplify cloud desktop management at Beesley & Fildes
Leicester, UK – May 28, 2026 – 10ZiG® Technology, a leading provider of thin and zero client hardware and software solutions for VDI, DaaS, and web application environments, today announced that Beesley & Fildes, one of the Northwest of England’s oldest independent builders’ merchants, has deployed 10ZiG modernized zero clients across its branch network to strengthen cybersecurity, simplify endpoint management and support the company’s long-term cloud computing strategy.
Established in 1820, Beesley & Fildes is a multi-million pound, family-owned builders’ merchant operating nine branches across the Northwest of England. The business supplies building materials to a wide variety of trades including construction, civil engineering, landscaping, plumbing and heating, kitchens and bathrooms, joinery and roofing. Today, the company employs around 300 staff and supports a hybrid IT environment spanning branch operations, remote workers and cloud-hosted applications.
The deployment forms part of Beesley & Fildes’ wider investment in Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure and secure endpoint management. The company currently manages more than 150 endpoints across desktops, laptops and zero clients, underpinned by technologies including VPN connectivity, multi-factor authentication (MFA), remote monitoring and management (RMM), mobile device management (MDM) and conditional access controls.
The decision to move to 10ZiG resulted as Beesley & Fildes’ previous thin client endpoint supplier, AXEL, ceased trading which created concerns around cybersecurity compliance and the inability to receive future firmware and security updates.
After reviewing solutions from various vendors, 10ZiG was selected following a successful proof-of-concept trial involving 10ZiG modernized zero clients running 10ZiG’s locked down Linux NOS software connecting to a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environment in Microsoft Azure. The final deployment included the purchase of powerful 10ZiG 7048q Series and ultra compact 10ZiG 4648q Series devices, managed centrally through free 10ZiG Manager software.
“We take cybersecurity extremely seriously and simply could not continue running endpoints that were no longer receiving firmware and security updates,” explains Rob John, Beesley & Fildes’ IT Services Manager. “Our original devices themselves were still working perfectly well, but we had to protect the business and ensure we remained compliant from a cybersecurity perspective.”
“We looked at multiple vendors, but 10ZiG immediately stood out because they actually engaged with us to understand our environment,” adds John. “Other bigger vendors largely treated us as just another order number whereas 10ZiG worked with us closely throughout the entire procurement process. We trialed their devices, connected them to our Azure environment and quickly realised just how easy they are to deploy and manage.”
Supplied by 10ZiG partner, Panacea Logic, the new endpoints enable staff across branch counters and sales offices to access core business applications including Microsoft 365 and Epicor BisTrack, the company’s specialist ERP platform designed for the building supply industry.
Using 10ZiG Manager, Beesley & Fildes automated device naming, remote configuration and deployment processes, significantly reducing rollout times and simplifying ongoing endpoint administration.
“The automation within 10ZiG Manager has been hugely impressive,” says Shaun Partington, Beesley & Fildes’ IT Systems Administrator. “We were able to configure the management platform so that devices automatically renamed themselves and pulled down the correct configuration profile as soon as they connected to the network.”
“In practical terms, that meant we could deploy devices incredibly quickly,” adds Partington. “Once the prep work had been completed, we literally plugged a zero client device into the network and within seconds it was configured and ready for the user.”
The rollout across nine sites was therefore completed easily by Beesley & Fildes’ two-person IT team, with no disruption to end users. Staff transitioned seamlessly onto the new endpoints while continuing to access the same cloud-hosted applications and services.
“For us, one of the biggest successes was the simplicity and speed of deployment. Years ago, firmware updates involved physically travelling between branches with USB sticks,” says John. “With 10ZiG, everything is centrally managed and automated. That represents a massive operational improvement for a business like ours which operates across multiple sites. Users simply log in to access applications exactly as before. But behind the scenes, we now have far more modern, secure and manageable endpoint infrastructure.”
Beesley & Fildes also sees the deployment as laying important foundations for future desktop virtualisation initiatives, including the potential future adoption of Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD).
“Organizations increasingly need endpoint solutions that simplify management while supporting secure, cloud-based work environments,” says James Broughton, 10ZiG’s Sales Director EMEA. “Beesley & Fildes is an excellent example of how companies can update endpoint infrastructure quickly while improving security, operational efficiency and long-term flexibility and we’re delighted to support their ongoing cloud and digital workplace strategy.”
