Constellar has announced that the Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP) 2024 will take place at Singapore EXPO during October 14 to 16.
As a HANNOVER MESSE event, ITAP’s goal is to bring the world’s largest industrial fair to Southeast Asia, adapting the expo to a more relevant context while focusing deeply on specific industries. This year’s theme emphasizes the role of AI in diversifying the manufacturing sector across various stages, leading to faster, more efficient business growth, all while adhering to ESG commitments.
The event’s location in Singapore is supported by various government agencies and partners, including Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Economic Development Board (EDB), Enterprise Singapore (ESG), JTC Corporation (JTC), SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), along with global industry leaders and key players in the region’s business ecosystem.
In Malaysia, the country is progressing ahead with its Malaysia AI Roadmap 2021-2025, having recently launched the Malaysia Artificial Intelligence Consortium (MAIC) and the AI Talent Roadmap for Malaysia 2024–2030 under the Malaysia Artificial Intelligence Nexus 2024 (MY AI NEXUS) initiative.
Specifically, Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030 aims to transform 3,000 smart factories by 2030 through AI and other technologies to boost high-value sectors like Electrical & Electronics, Specialty Chemicals, Aerospace, Pharmaceuticals, and Medical Devices. The manufacturing sector’s GDP is projected to increase by 61%, from US$80 billion (RM364.9 billion) in 2022 to US$129 billion (RM587.5 billion) by 2030.
By participating in ITAP 2024, the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) will provide local businesses with access to cutting-edge technologies, applications, and digital initiatives showcased at the event.
As for ITAP 2024, three key trends will shape this year’s theme: ‘Digitalize with Secure Intelligent Operations,’ ‘Align Sustainable Manufacturing Practices,’ and ‘Build Antifragile Supply Chains.’
A major highlight will be the official release of a whitepaper titled ‘Regenerative Manufacturing – Unlocking ASEAN’s Growth through Design and AI.’ Developed in partnership with global management consultancy firm Kearney, this whitepaper offers practical approaches and solutions to help companies achieve a balance of profit, sustainability, and resiliency, reshaping the manufacturing sector and the broader ecosystem.
Additionally, the event will feature the Industrial Transformation Forum, InnoX Stage, and Industrial Innovation Stage, along with Experience Zones showcasing the latest innovations in Sustainable Manufacturing, AI & Data Analytics, Industrial Robotics & Automation, and Additive Manufacturing.
The event will also include standard networking zones, product showcases, keynote sessions, and panel discussions—the core components of any industrial fair.
