The exhibition and conference are built around four technology areas, with case studies from manufacturers already deploying them.

Industrial AI and automation: robotics, controls, machine vision and sensors
Smart manufacturing and digitalisation: industrial software, IIoT, digital twins, IT/OT integration and cybersecurity
Advanced production and materials: additive manufacturing, components, inspection and metrology
Sustainability and energy: energy management, process efficiency and decarbonisation

Conference programme

Two days of keynotes and streams with voices from HANNOVER MESSE, Singapore's innovation ecosystem and global industry. Day one opens with a keynote on physical AI and humanoid robotics, followed by a stream on AI as the manufacturing intelligence layer with WEF Global Lighthouse plants in Singapore. A Delegate Pass also covers NAMIC's Global Additive Manufacturing Summit.

Who attends

CEOs, COOs, plant directors and regional manufacturing heads; production, automation and systems-integration leaders; IT/OT, AI and digital-transformation teams; and procurement leaders, technology buyers, government agencies and industrial investors. Knowledge partners include A*STAR, NAMIC, AIMfg and the National Robotics Programme, with EDB as event partner.
