The transport logistics Southeast Asia and air cargo Southeast Asia (tlacSEA) 2025 event concluded successfully in Singapore between October 29 and 31, 2025, attracting over 8,100 participants from 92 countries. This strong turnout, which included policymakers and senior executives, underscores Southeast Asia’s growing strategic importance as a global logistics hub. The exhibition hosted 120 exhibitors from 27 countries, showcasing comprehensive multimodal capabilities across air, sea, and land, alongside critical areas like port infrastructure, automation, digitalisation, and sustainability solutions. Furthermore, the accompanying air cargo Southeast Asia (acSEA) segment brought together major regional and international cargo airlines, ground handlers, and technology innovators.
Michael Wilton, CEO & Managing Director of Messe München International Asia, highlighted the event’s success, stating that tlacSEA 2025 demonstrated the region’s “shared ambition to drive innovation, sustainability, and cross-border collaboration,” which reinforces Southeast Asia’s pivotal role as a strategic global hub. The value of the event was reaffirmed by participants, with Balakrishnan Raghavan of ECS Group noting the event was “exceptionally well organised, bringing together industry leaders, innovative solutions, and meaningful discussions under one roof.”
The extensive conference programme delivered strategic value through 76 sessions, addressing central themes such as multimodal logistics, regional market outlooks (including a focus on India and Europe), and ESG-driven transformation. Key highlights included deep dives into digital transformation (featuring AI-enabled logistics and robotics) and sustainability and decarbonisation, where experts discussed green fuels, low-carbon freight models, and green corridor pilots. Preparations are already underway for the next edition of the event, tlacSEA 2027, scheduled for October 27–29, 2027, in Singapore, maintaining its commitment to resilient, innovative, and sustainable logistics.
