Thursday, 29 September 2021 – Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP), an
event of Constellar with international partner Deutsche Messe, returns for its 5th edition
this year from 18 – 20 October at Singapore EXPO. Expected attendees include

their businesses in a post-pandemic landscape,” said James Boey, Senior Vice
President of Markets (B2B) at Constellar. “As the leading trade event for Industry 4.0
in the region, ITAP 2022 will continue to empower manufacturing and related
industries to leverage on Industry 4.0 for sustainable business development locally,
regionally and globally.”
