Impact - Why it Matters
The 16th ALMAC arrives at a critical moment when global supply chains are being reshaped by geopolitical tensions, climate change and digital disruption. By aligning with national and local strategic plans, the conference reinforces Hong Kong’s position as a “superconnector” and “super value-adder”, helping businesses navigate uncertainty and seize opportunities in green energy, digital trade and Belt and Road markets. The focus on resilience, sustainability and connectivity will not only shape the future of logistics, shipping and aviation but also impact how companies operate, trade and grow across the region and beyond.
Summary
The 16th Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC), jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), will take place on 16–17 November at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre under the theme “Driving Inclusive Growth through Innovation and Sustainability”. The conference will welcome around 80 speakers and more than 2,300 participants from over 40 countries and regions, focusing on supply chain resilience, green energy and digital transformation. Topics will align with the National 15th Five-Year Plan, Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan and the latest Policy Address, reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as an international trade and maritime centre and aviation hub.
Jacky Chung, Associate Executive Director of the HKTDC, highlighted that ALMAC will help the industry move beyond “moving goods faster” towards “moving goods more reliably, more sustainably and with greater value”. The event will feature a keynote address by John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, and opening remarks by Professor Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC. Jennifer Nordquist, Deputy Director-General of the WTO, will discuss supply chain resilience, while other senior officials and industry leaders will explore strategies for building a more resilient, sustainable and inclusive global trading system. A new thematic seminar on Silk Road Maritime will highlight the platform’s role in enhancing connectivity and supply chain stability, and a Green Energy Zone will showcase the latest carbon-reduction technologies. The exhibition will host close to 100 exhibitors, including the Airport Authority Hong Kong, JD.com and The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Ltd, and will offer business-matching sessions to foster regional partnerships.
