ABOUT THE FAIR
Transport & Logistics Indonesia has firmly established itself as a leading trade fair for the transport and logistics industry across Southeast Asia. Held at the Grand City Expo in Surabaya – one of Indonesia’s major economic hubs – the event is organised by GEM INDONESIA, a seasoned exhibition organiser with deep roots in the region’s event landscape. Open exclusively to trade professionals, the exhibition brings together key industry players, decision-makers, and suppliers from both Indonesia and abroad on an annual basis.
The event centres on three core themes: transport and logistics systems, warehousing and material handling, and advanced ICT solutions for the logistics sector. It provides a comprehensive overview of the latest products and services, including international and intermodal transport providers (sea, air, rail, and road), state-of-the-art warehouse equipment such as forklifts, hoists and pallet systems, as well as digital solutions for tracking, navigation, transport management, coding, and e-commerce.
The exhibition plays a particularly vital role in the Indonesian context. With over 17,000 islands, the country’s geography presents unique logistical challenges – making efficient transport infrastructure essential to economic growth, trade development, and nationwide connectivity. In this sense, Transport & Logistics Indonesia serves not only as a showcase for global innovation but also as a barometer of the country’s ongoing logistics transformation.
Key highlights of the event include expert forums, networking sessions, and presentations of cutting-edge technologies – often accompanied by live demonstrations and exclusive product launches.
Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the industry: from international freight and logistics firms to providers of warehousing and packaging solutions, as well as software developers, e-business service providers, and financial institutions. The event also attracts start-ups and niche suppliers seeking to forge new business connections and tap into growth opportunities. Attendees typically include professionals from freight forwarding, retail, manufacturing, infrastructure planning, public administration, and IT – all with a strong interest in innovative logistics and transport solutions.
Surabaya stands out as a host city thanks to its strategic location in East Java and its modern infrastructure. The Grand City Expo exhibition centre is conveniently situated, well connected to public transport, and just a few kilometres from Juanda International Airport – offering ideal conditions for both domestic and international participants.
Ultimately, Transport & Logistics Indonesia is far more than a trade fair: it is a strategic business platform that fosters insight, collaboration, and innovation within a dynamic and fast-evolving market.
The Transport & Logistics Indonesia will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 11. November to Friday, 13. November 2026 in Surabaya.
