Supporting innovation and a more sustainable future for the fertilizer industry at the 7th Sustainability Open Innovation Challenge.
Singapore, 27 October 2026 – for the third consecutive year, Hexagon Group AG proudly served as a key corporate sponsor of the Sustainability Open Innovation Challenge (SOIC), organized by Enterprise Singapore, reaffirming its commitment to supporting innovative solutions for a more sustainable industrial future.
At the closing ceremony of the 7th edition of SOIC, Hexagon Group AG presented the SGD 100,000 Hexagon Prize to NTI Technology, recognizing its innovative approach to industrial filtration and water treatment.
Innovation with Real Industrial Impact
NTI Technology develops advanced filtration membranes designed to withstand demanding industrial conditions, including exposure to strong chemicals and high temperatures. Its technology offers a potentially more affordable alternative to traditional ceramic filtration systems, helping industries improve water treatment efficiency, reduce operational costs and use resources more responsibly.
The technology is particularly relevant to the fertilizer and chemical industries, where efficient water treatment, wastewater management and resource conservation are essential to more sustainable production. NTI Technology is already involved in sulfuric acid treatment applications in China and Vietnam, demonstrating its potential for practical industrial use.
Beyond Trading: Supporting a More Sustainable Industry
At Hexagon Group AG, we believe that our role in the fertilizer industry goes beyond connecting markets and facilitating trade. We also see an opportunity to support innovation, encourage responsible industrial practices and contribute to the long-term development of the industry.
Our vision is not only to be part of the fertilizer industry’s growth, but also to help shape a more efficient, innovative and sustainable future for it.
Through initiatives such as the Sustainability Open Innovation Challenge and our Green Project, we aim to support technologies that can make a meaningful difference in how industries operate.
The 2026 Challenge focused on five key themes: Renewable Energy, Offshore Wind, Greener Industries, Sustainable Agrifood and Sustainable Materials.
We warmly congratulate NTI Technology on this achievement and thank Enterprise Singapore, the organizers and all participating innovators for their dedication to turning sustainable ideas into practical solutions.
Innovation today. A more sustainable industry tomorrow

Opening Ceremony of 2026 Yangzhou “Flowery March” International Economy, Trade and Tourism Festival & Signing Ceremony of Major Projects
Hexagon’s President, Mr. Christian Wendel, was invited to deliver a speech at this prestigious event alongside distinguished international speakers, including His Excellency the Ambassador of Egypt and His Excellency the Ambassador of South Korea.
Hexagon Group AG is currently investing in an ammonium sulphate compaction plant in partnership with its local partner, Lucky Grace, located at the Port of Yangzhou. The facility is expected to commence operations by the end of June 2026, with two production lines and a total annual capacity of 1.2 million tons.
During his address, Mr. Wendel highlighted the outstanding support and strong cooperation provided by the Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone and Yangzhou Port, underscoring their key role in advancing the project.
Hexagon Poland: Hitting the Ground Running
Headquartered in Bydgoszcz, Hexagon Poland has successfully launched operations across the key ports of Gdansk and Szczecin. From the outset, the company has rapidly established a specialize distribution network, prioritizing customer service and long-term partnerships over sheer scale.
The first cargoes of NPKs and phosphates have already been delivered, firmly positioning Hexagon Poland in the market. Notably, this includes a maiden DAP shipment from Saudi Arabia to Europe, an important milestone that reflects Hexagon’s commitment to delivering alternative and reliable supply solutions in an increasingly complex global environment.
At the core of this strategy lies Panda, Hexagon’s fertilizer brand in Poland. Through Hexagon Poland’s distribution network, Panda offers a tailored and transparent value proposition directly to farmers. The brand focuses on a streamlined portfolio of essential nutrients, ensuring growers receive precisely what they need, without unnecessary complexity, while maintaining consistency and reliability.
More than a product range, Panda represents a commitment to quality, service, and long-term engagement with the Polish market. It stands for trust, compliance, and strong ethical standards. Innovation is also a key pillar of this approach. With the introduction of the iPlomba digital sealing system, each big bag provides enhanced transparency: by scanning the seal, farmers can access detailed product information and optimize the calibration of their fertilizer spreaders, supporting more efficient and responsible application.
Backed by the global expertise and reach of Hexagon Trading AG, Hexagon Poland and the Panda brand combine local market proximity with a strong international backbone, positioning them to serve the Polish agricultural sector with both agility and reliability.
