THE Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific (ITAP) will return as a hybrid event in November, with organisers expecting about 5,000 physical attendees over 3 days.
The event, to be held physically at the Singapore Expo from Nov 22 to 24, will feature about 100 booths as well as a digital event.
Event organiser Constellar said they are permitted to take only 300 overseas attendees as a pilot business event, and they include delegates from Malaysia, Indonesia and the United States.
Vaccinated attendees coming from countries that do not currently have vaccinated travel lane arrangements with Singapore will be exempted from quarantine as long as they are tested before arriving, Constellar added.
At the Singapore pavilion, 27 manufacturing companies and 2 consortia from the Republic will be showcasing their Industry 4.0 products and solutions from Nov 22 to 24, according to a statement from Enterprise Singapore.
This includes Singapore companies that have pushed ahead with research and development despite the pandemic, including machine vision solution provider JM Vistec and polyurethane solutions specialist Rim Polymers Industries.
