transport logistic is coming to Singapore

Messe München will be hosting the first multimodal logistics trade fair transport logistic and air cargo Southeast Asia and it is happening at the logistics hotspot of the world: Singapore.

Running from November 1 to 3, 2023, the event will be the meeting place for logistics, mobility, IT, and supply chain management in Southeast Asia.

Singapore, which took the top spot among the 179 countries in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI), is leading the way, but the ASEAN countries are also gaining importance.

The LPI ranking gave Singapore the best scores in the quality of logistics services, competence and infrastructure categories.

With its favourable geographical and geopolitical location on the Strait of Malacca, the city-state is home to one of the world’s most important transhipment hubs with its port.

Michael Wilton, managing director of MMI Asia: “Singapore is the gateway to the greater Southeast Asia region and the most dynamic and exciting hotspot for transport and logistics right now.”

Messe München's co-CEOs Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer and Stefan Rummel: “Singapore has become an important asset in Messe München's positioning, which for us extends far beyond Southeast Asia.”

Jost Lammers, CEO of Munich Airport: "With the agreement on the liberalization of traffic rights between the EU and the ASEAN countries in 2022, the launch comes at exactly the right time.”

Asok Kumar, EVP global air freight at DB Schenker: “Both export growth and consumer demand will bounce back in Southeast Asia, because of the overall upturn of the intra-Asia consumer market.

Peter Dressler, VP Logistics, Infineon Technologies: “Singapore is important, not only because of its location, but also because the focus there is on highly automated, digitized logistics processes.”

Jaisey Yip, VP, cargo business, Changi Airport: “With expectation for long-term urbanisation & industrialisation, Southeast Asia is primed for growth in manufacturing, trades and logistics.”

Prof. Christopher Stoller, president of the aircargo club deutschland: "We see Singapore as another important link in the international supply chains that serve Germany as a business location."

The event is latest in series of fairs for Messe München that include India (Mumbai), China (Shanghai), Turkey (Istanbul), South Africa (Johannesburg), the U.S. (Miami), and Munich (Germany).
