CeMAT South East Asia, the world’s leading trade fair for intralogistics, materials handling, and supply chain management, returns to Singapore EXPO from 12–14 May 2026 is organised by Hannover Fairs Australia, a subsidiary of the renowned Deutsche Messe. This event has established itself as a critical platform for the “warehouse of the future”.
I’m personally presenting at the Knowledge Theatre this year, but first, here is why this event is a non-negotiable for your 2026 calendar.
A Global Hub for Innovation
As a cornerstone of the international CeMAT portfolio—joining events in Australia, China, Italy, and Turkey—the Southeast Asia edition is a genuine convergence of industry leaders and practitioners. This year’s exhibition floor will feature over 65 companies, including industry giants like Dematic, Honeywell, Hyster-Yale, and Geek+.
Expect to see cutting-edge solutions in:
Robotics and Warehouse Automation
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and conveyor systems
Cold Chain Developments
Digital Systems for operational performance
This year, CeMAT SEA is co-located with CargoNOW Singapore, a dedicated platform for the cargo, freight, and supply chain sectors. This partnership provides an expanded environment to evaluate end-to-end solutions, from the warehouse floor to global freight.
The Knowledge Theatre: Insights for the Next Era
The Knowledge Theatre serves as the event’s thought-leadership hub. Free for all attendees, it will host over 20 sessions featuring distinguished speakers exploring how AI and digital systems enhance resilience.
Key Themes Include:
The AI Revolution in Logistics: Moving beyond theory into practical application.
Scalable Automation for SMEs: Making high-tech accessible for smaller operations.
Future-Ready Intralogistics: Building for long-term efficiency.
Sustainable and Secure Supply Chains: Addressing global modern challenges.
Skills, Networking, and Recognition
Beyond the tech, CeMAT SEA is about the people who move the world:
Southeast Asia Forklift Championship: A dynamic competition where drivers are tested on precision, speed, and safety in real-world warehouse conditions.
Networking Function (May 12th): A relaxed evening on the show floor to exchange ideas and build relationships.
LogiSYM Awards Gala (May 13th): A signature celebration of the co-located LogiSYM Asia Pacific 2026 conference, recognizing standout contributions to the industry.
Why I’m There
I’m honored to be presenting at the Knowledge Theatre this year. I’ll be sharing insights on ecommerce logistics and cross-border supply chain—topics that are rapidly reshaping how we think about regional fulfillment. Stay tuned for more details on my specific session time.
