The future of urban transportation is changing rapidly. From autonomous vehicles and electric mobility to intelligent transport systems, smart infrastructure and connected public transport, cities are looking for new ways to make mobility more sustainable, efficient and resilient.
Against this backdrop, Singapore Urban Mobility Week (SUMW) 2026 will bring together transport leaders, policymakers, technology providers and mobility experts from around the world to explore the future of urban mobility.
The inaugural edition of the event will take place from 4 to 6 November 2026 at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, under the theme “Drive the Future – Autonomous Innovation, Smart Infrastructure, and Urban Mobility.”
Singapore Urban Mobility Week is a new international event dedicated to the transformation of urban transportation.
The event is designed to connect global transport leaders, policymakers, solution providers and industry experts working across the urban mobility ecosystem. It will combine an exhibition showcasing mobility technologies with a conference focused on policy, innovation and practical solutions for future-ready transport systems.
The event is jointly organised by the Land Transport Authority of Singapore, MSI Global Pte Ltd and MP Singapore Pte Ltd, with the support of the Ministry of Transport.
With Singapore acting as a major hub for transport innovation in Asia, SUMW 2026 aims to facilitate dialogue and collaboration between public authorities, transport operators, technology companies and other stakeholders shaping the future of mobility.
Singapore Urban Mobility Week 2026 will take place over three days:
The venue is located in Singapore’s Central Business District and is directly connected to the city’s public transport network, making it easily accessible for international delegates.
Urban mobility is facing major challenges worldwide. Growing populations, congestion, climate change, ageing infrastructure and changing travel patterns are forcing cities to rethink how people and goods move.
At the same time, new technologies are creating opportunities to transform transportation.
Electric vehicles, autonomous mobility, artificial intelligence, connected infrastructure, digital payment systems and intelligent transport systems are increasingly becoming part of the urban mobility landscape.
Singapore Urban Mobility Week 2026 will explore how these technologies can be integrated into transport networks while addressing the policy, infrastructure and operational challenges that come with them.
The conference will focus in particular on sustainable mobility solutions and intelligent, climate-resilient urban transport systems.
One of the key components of SUMW 2026 will be its multi-stage conference programme.
The programme will bring together senior transport leaders, policymakers, infrastructure specialists, technology providers and innovators to discuss the most important issues affecting urban mobility in Asia and beyond.
Taking place on 4 November 2026, the Leaders Summit will provide a high-level platform for global industry leaders and policymakers.
Discussions will address major strategic issues such as:
The objective is to encourage strategic dialogue around the challenges cities and transport authorities will need to address in the coming years.
The Industry Forums, taking place on 5 and 6 November, will bring together public- and private-sector stakeholders for thematic discussions focusing on the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of transportation.
Topics include sustainable transport, digital mobility, infrastructure, connectivity, autonomous vehicles and other technologies transforming urban transportation.
The event will also feature an invitation-only AV Regulators Forum, dedicated to autonomous vehicle regulation.
International transport authorities and regulators will discuss issues including autonomous vehicle deployment, safety and cybersecurity standards, licensing, liability and public acceptance.
As autonomous vehicles move from testing environments towards real-world deployment, regulatory cooperation between countries and cities is becoming increasingly important.
Technology will play a central role at Singapore Urban Mobility Week.
The exhibition will bring together companies working across a broad range of mobility and transportation technologies, including:
This broad ecosystem reflects the fact that the future of mobility will not depend on a single technology. Instead, successful urban transportation systems will increasingly rely on the integration of vehicles, infrastructure, data, energy and digital services.
Two of the most important trends in urban transportation are the transition towards electric mobility and the development of autonomous transportation.
SUMW 2026 will provide a platform to discuss both.
The conference programme includes sessions addressing autonomous mobility, autonomous vehicle safety and deployment, while other discussions will focus on electric vehicle charging infrastructure and low-carbon transportation.
For example, the programme includes discussions on scaling autonomous mobility across cities, safety testing frameworks for autonomous vehicles and the development of high-power EV charging systems.
These topics highlight the practical challenges that cities and transport operators face as new mobility technologies move from innovation to large-scale deployment.
Sustainability is another major theme of Singapore Urban Mobility Week.
The transition towards low-carbon transportation requires more than simply replacing conventional vehicles with electric alternatives. Cities also need to rethink public transport, infrastructure, energy systems, active mobility and the way different modes of transportation interact.
SUMW 2026 will address these challenges through discussions around sustainable transport systems, fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, active mobility and climate-resilient transport networks.
The event therefore provides an opportunity to explore how technology and policy can work together to create more sustainable urban transportation systems.
Public transport will also be a major component of the event.
Singapore is widely recognised for its extensive public transportation network, making the city a particularly relevant setting for discussions around the future of urban transport.
SUMW 2026 will bring together public and private transport operators, transport authorities, infrastructure companies and technology providers to explore how public transport systems can become more connected, efficient and resilient.
The event will also offer delegates the opportunity to participate in technical visits to selected transport facilities across Singapore. These visits will provide practical insights into infrastructure planning, asset management, systems integration and the operation of public transport networks.
SUMW 2026 is expected to attract a wide range of professionals involved in urban transportation and mobility.
The attendee profile includes:
This makes the event particularly relevant for companies looking to develop partnerships, enter new markets or connect with decision-makers in the Asian mobility sector.
Beyond the conference programme, Singapore Urban Mobility Week is designed to facilitate business development.
The exhibition will provide companies with an opportunity to showcase mobility technologies and solutions directly to transport authorities, policymakers, operators and industry leaders.
The event will also feature a VIP Hosted Buyer Programme, designed to connect qualified senior decision-makers with solution providers through curated meetings and networking opportunities.
For exhibitors, this creates opportunities to:
Holding SUMW in Singapore is particularly relevant given the country’s position as a major centre for transport planning and innovation in Asia.
The city-state has developed a highly integrated public transportation network and continues to invest in digitalisation, intelligent infrastructure and new mobility technologies.
By bringing international stakeholders together in Singapore, SUMW 2026 aims to create a platform for sharing experiences and identifying solutions that can be adapted to cities across Asia and beyond.
