Asia’s leading trade fair and business platform for logistics, mobility, IT, and supply chain management is staging a comeback after a 6-year break as transport logistic China and air cargo China return to Shanghai in June.

The event will take place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre on 25-27 June, which is expected to gather around 700 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors.

The biennial trade fair promises to deliver a high-calibre programme which will cover all areas of logistics along the supply chain, as well as sea, air, road, and rail transport. Also to be included in separate discussions are logistics solutions for perishable goods, logistics parks and real estate, IT, equipment and vehicles.

Event organiser Messe München said the 50,000-sqm exhibition space is almost fully booked with still 5 months left until the opening. Silk Way West Airlines, which has hubs in Zhengzhou, Shanghai and Hong Kong, said the event has played an important role in the carrier’s success and will be present during the event.

Messe München mentioned that exhibitors and visitors from large parts of Europe no longer require a visa to stay in China. Travelers from France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia can take advantage of a 15-day unilateral visa waiver, which have been effective since 1 December 2023 and will run until 30 November 2024. Visitors from Singapore and Brunei can also enter China without a visa.

“As the business platform for the international and Chinese logistics and transport industry, we are once again creating an attractive venue for company innovations, trends, and developments and for insiders to share information with one another,” said Dr Robert Schönberger, Global Industry Lead at Messe München.
