Singapore transport gathering to focus on autonomous vehicles and rail renewal
Organisers expect more than 8,000 participants from over 50 countries at the November congress and exhibition.
Autonomous vehicle deployment, ageing infrastructure and transport workforce skills will be among the subjects at Singapore Urban Mobility Week (SUMW) 2026. Organisers said the event, taking place on 4–6 November 2026 at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, is expected to draw more than 8,000 participants.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is organising SUMW alongside MSI Global Pte Ltd and MP Singapore. Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Finance Jeffrey Siow will open proceedings with a speech outlining Singapore’s urban mobility vision and transport investment.
Invitations have gone to close to 100 industry leaders and regulators representing nearly 20 countries. On 4 November, senior LTA officials will lead four summit panels examining commuters’ requirements, driverless vehicle deployment, changes in transport jobs and renewal of rail assets.
Forums scheduled for 5–6 November will cover intelligent mobility, digital technologies, infrastructure engineering and sustainable transport. Organisers said the exhibition will feature more than 200 companies and brands, with displays covering electric vehicles, AI applications, bus and rail technology, and logistics.
A separate Youth Xchange showcase will feature 12 innovations and ideas led by young people, including student and hackathon projects. The hosted buyers programme will arrange meetings linking technology suppliers with regional transport operators and agencies. Organisers noted that programme details could change.
