Singapore to host tlacSEA 2025, uniting logistics leaders to boost resilience, digitalization & sustainability in the region
In a bold move to reinforce Southeast Asia’s role in global supply chains, the second edition of transport logistic Southeast Asia and air cargo Southeast Asia (tlacSEA) will take place from October 29–31, 2025 at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore. The event will bring together over 10,000 professionals, 300+ exhibitors, and 90+ thought leaders across 15,000 sqm, focused on driving resilience, digital transformation, and sustainable growth across the region’s booming logistics sector.
With a combined GDP of USD 4.3 trillion, Southeast Asia is rapidly becoming a central logistics hub, powered by trade agreements, digital innovation, and infrastructure upgrades. The region’s logistics market is projected to reach USD 478 billion by 2030, fuelled by rising intra-ASEAN trade, manufacturing growth, and an e-commerce sector expected to hit USD 280 billion by 2027.
Key themes at tlacSEA 2025 include:
- Resilience through regional collaboration and adaptive trade policies
- Digital transformation of supply chains via AI and automation
- Sustainability aligned with global decarbonization efforts
As a prelude, tlacSEA Connect Malaysia was held in Kuala Lumpur, engaging local stakeholders on Malaysia’s logistics potential, trade barriers, and sustainability goals. Speaking at the event, Mark Jason Thomas, CEO of MAB Kargo, emphasised, “To unlock Malaysia’s potential, we must confront cost pressures, evolving demands, and geopolitical risks. tlacSEA offers a powerful platform to forge cross-border supply chain integration and meaningful collaboration.”
Michael Wilton, CEO of MMI Asia, added, “With Southeast Asia’s logistics sector expanding at unprecedented speed, tlacSEA 2025 is not just a trade fair—it’s a critical forum for shaping the future of global logistics through innovation, partnerships, and action.”
As Singapore continues to be the region’s strategic trade gateway, tlacSEA 2025 is poised to be a landmark event catalysing growth, innovation, and resilience in Southeast Asia’s logistics and air cargo sectors.
