INFORMA MARKETS and AsiaWorld-Expo have partnered to launch a new event covering air cargo and logistics while also highlighting Hong Kong’s connectivity strengths as part of the Greater Bay Area.
A Memorandum of Understanding between Informa and AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) was signed in Paris on June 19 to hold the inaugural Super Terminal Expo at AWE in November 2024.
AWE is adjacent to Hong Kong International Airport, which is connected to 220 international destinations, has extensive cargo facilities and is near the HZMB – the bridge and sea tunnel link to Macau and Zhuhai that links the Greater Bay Area. The expo will emphasise how mega transport terminals link to better logistics, aviation and economic growth while giving participants the opportunity to share knowledge.
