Taking place from 7 to 9 September 2027 at the Singapore EXPO, InnoTrans Asia aims to serve as a central platform for Asia’s rapidly growing transport sector.
Messe Berlin is launching its transport technology trade fair InnoTrans into Asia, with Singapore hosting the inaugural edition in 2027.
The announcement follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). Taking place from 7 to 9 September 2027 at the Singapore EXPO, InnoTrans Asia aims to serve as a central platform for Asia’s rapidly growing transport sector.
The Asian edition will complement the biennial InnoTrans Berlin and will debut in the alternate year, focusing on the Asia-Pacific market. InnoTrans Asia will bring together key stakeholders from across the transport technology ecosystem: public and private transport companies, manufacturers and suppliers, construction companies, government bodies, trade associations, and research institutions. The event will feature a supporting programme tailored specifically to the Asian market, enabling participants to gain comprehensive market insights while connecting with potential partners.
Dirk Hoffmann, COO at Messe Berlin said: “InnoTrans Asia is an important addition to the world's leading trade fair in Berlin and enriches our international event portfolio. While InnoTrans Berlin will remain the centerpiece of the industry, we intend to establish InnoTrans Asia as a link between emerging markets and global innovations. Messe Berlin’s decision to establish InnoTrans Asia in Singapore capitalises on the region’s substantial investments in rail transport infrastructure. "
Ong Huey Hong, assistant chief executive, industry development group at STB said: “Securing InnoTrans Asia reaffirms Singapore’s position as the World’s Best MICE City and demonstrates our ability to host major industrial trade shows. Our competitive advantages - excellent connectivity, world-class infrastructure, neutrality, and trusted business environment - continue to attract major international trade shows.”
