APAC’s increasingly important role
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region plays an ever-growing role in global trade and transportation. Messe München’s presence in ASEAN positions its logistics shows at the centre of this market.
“The APAC region is a key driver of global trade and transportation growth. Our move into ASEAN allows us to position our logistics shows at the heart of this flourishing market,” Wilton said.
As economies in the region continue to expand, the demand for efficient transportation and logistics solutions increases, making Messe München’s events integral to the sector’s development.
“By hosting events in ASEAN, we contribute to the development of this sector in a region of immense significance,” Wilton stated.
Growing network
The new show in Southeast Asia complements Messe München’s global network by expanding its reach and providing specialised platforms in respective markets.
This synergy among existing events addresses unique needs and opportunities in the ASEAN region, fostering a comprehensive global network for the transportation and logistics industry.
“air cargo and transport logistics Southeast Asia foster stronger ties between European and ASEAN businesses,” Wilton said. “As trade relations between these regions grow, our platform facilitates the exchange of ideas, technologies, and partnerships that are essential for seamless cross-border trade. It’s a testament to our commitment to supporting and enhancing global trade networks.”
Boosting regional recovery
Given the disruptions seen in recent years, it was paramount for Messe München to lead with the topic of supply chain strategies. This choice addresses a critical industry need, providing attendees with valuable insights and solutions to navigate uncertainties and build more robust supply chains.
“As the regions return to normality post-pandemic, the air cargo industry is crucial for expediting the flow of goods,” Wilton said. “Meetings could provide a timely opportunity for air cargo professionals to reconnect, explore new strategies, and adapt to the evolving landscape. Participating in conferences offer insights into the latest technologies and best practices to enhance efficiency and resilience in air cargo operations.”
