ITAP 2024 sets the stage for a more connected advanced factory ecosystem with focus on AI, advanced robotics and sustainability

The 7th edition of Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP) - a HANNOVER MESSE event, organised by Constellar with international partner Deutsche Messe, was held from 14-16 October 2024 at Singapore EXPO. This edition hosted about 16,000 attendees from 75 countries and regions. Of these, 63% hold managerial, senior management and C-Level executive positions.

ITAP augmented its content this year with three forums and two open stages, as well as focused workshops and networking sessions. There were over 400 showcases from over 20 countries, including 60 new-to-market, new-to-region product launches and their real-world applications from around the region: a 20 percent increase from last year. There were also 14 dedicated showcases that included three thematic zones, three industry-led pavilions, and eight regional and country pavilions.

The advanced manufacturing industry needs to invest in cutting-edge technologies, foster collaboration across the entire value chain and ecosystem, and develop a skilled workforce for long-term sustainable business growth. To accelerate this transition, ITAP 2024 was specially curated to set the stage for meaningful conversations and innovative showcases for emerging themes such as AI, advanced robotics and sustainability.
