Why Southeast Asia Matters

Southeast Asia is rapidly emerging as a key market for project cargo, driven by large-scale infrastructure, energy, and industrial developments. The launch of the project cargo zone at transport logistic Southeast Asia in Singapore (October 29–31, 2025) underscores the region’s rising importance in global logistics networks.

“Southeast Asia is where the future of project logistics is being shaped,” said Michael Wilton, Managing Director of MMI Asia Pte Ltd. “Building on the success of project cargo conference in 2023—and in response to growing industry demand—we’re evolving the initiative into a full-scale exhibition zone within transport logistic Southeast Asia. This next step allows us to better connect global expertise with regional ambition, and support smarter, faster, and more resilient project delivery across the region.”

The first project cargo zones will roll out in 2025 and 2026 across the expanding transport logistic global network, offering unmatched international exposure and connectivity.
