2026 GSTCE

Exhibition date: 13-14 May, 2026
Exhibition Cycle: Annual
Exhibition Venue: Singapore City, Singapore

Exhibition Introduction

  The global aerospace economy is embracing historic opportunities, with its market size expected to exceed USD 1.8 trillion by 2035. As the growth engine of the global aerospace industry, the Asia-Pacific region alone – with Southeast Asia at its core – is projected to add USD 100 billion in value to the regional GDP by 2030.
    The 18th Singapore International Aerospace Exhibition (GSTCE 2026) will be grandly inaugurated at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, from 13 to 14 May 2026. As a flagship aerospace technology event in Asia, GSTCE takes "Space Commercialization: Driving Economic Value Through Cross-Industry Collaboration" as its core theme. It brings together global aerospace leaders, industry pioneers and cross-industry innovators, building a top-tier platform for the commercial implementation of aerospace technologies, regional cooperation and business expansion.
     GSTCE 2026 focuses on the commercial implementation of space technologies, opening up integration paths between the aerospace industry and vertical sectors including maritime, agriculture, fintech and climate tech, to help enterprises translate space technologies into tangible economic value.

Previous Edition Data

      The previous edition of the exhibition not only brought together key players in the global aerospace industry, but also attracted in-depth participation from cross-industry enterprises in maritime, agriculture, finance, climate and other sectors. It has established itself as a critical platform for the penetration of space technologies into non-aerospace fields, laying a solid foundation for the cross-industry integration theme of the 2026 edition.
      The event achieved global coverage with more than 1,500 professional participants from 45 countries and regions; industry participation from more than 600 global institutions, 15 international space agencies and 60 brand exhibitors; high-level decision-maker participation featuring more than 90 of the world's top speakers, with 72% of attendees at or above the enterprise management level; and a regional ecosystem built through 5 national pavilions and 7 thematic seminars on aerospace and cross-industry development.

Core Highlights

  As Southeast Asia's economic and technological hub, Singapore boasts a mature aerospace industry ecosystem – as of 2026, it is home to approximately 70 space-related enterprises and more than 2,000 industry professionals. It officially established the National Space Agency of Singapore (NSAS) in April 2026, further strengthening its central position in Asia's space economy. Choosing GSTCE means seizing the strategic first-mover advantage in the Southeast Asian and even Asia-Pacific space market.
        GSTCE is one of the few global platforms that connects the global aerospace industry with Asia.
This year's edition focuses on "how cross-industry collaboration, investment and innovation enable commercial sustainability of space technologies", with in-depth discussions on the application of aerospace technologies in vertical sectors including maritime, agriculture, fintech and climate tech. It helps enterprises transform cutting-edge aerospace technologies into implementable commercial solutions, to tap into Asia's USD 619 billion space economy market.
      The event enables in-depth engagement with core decision-makers including C-suite executives of leading enterprises, top-tier venture capital firms, and government project leaders. Over the two days of high-value activities, exhibitors can establish strategic partnerships, accelerate market access, facilitate the launch of brand-new commercial projects, and achieve a complete commercial closed loop from dialogue to on-ground implementation.
