CMS Asia: New cleaning & environmental solutions show set for Singapore
The inaugural edition of Messe Berlin Asia Pacific's CMS Asia will take place in Singapore from 8th -10th June 2027, in partnership with the National Environment Agency's (NEA) CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESG).
This tie-in will create a global platform to bring together those involved in the environmental services industry to exchange ideas, showcase cutting-edge technologies, and forge partnerships. It marks the start of a milestone 12-year partnership between NEA and Messe Berlin Asia Pacific, spanning up to six biennial editions of CESG from 2027 to 2039.
As cities across the Asia Pacific continue to urbanise, demand is growing for smarter, more efficient and sustainable solutions in urban cleaning, public hygiene, facility operations, waste management and environmental resilience. Together, CMS Asia and CESG will form an integrated regional platform for business exchange, innovation and policy dialogue, connecting innovators, technology providers, service operators, policymakers, asset owners, and large-scale buyers across the environmental services ecosystem.
"Asia Pacific is one of the world's most dynamic regions for urban development, infrastructure growth and sustainability transformation,” notes Katrina Leung, managing director & vice president Asia Pacific at Messe Berlin. “With CMS Asia, we are creating a dedicated business platform for the industries that support cleaner, healthier and more resilient cities - from cleaning and facility management to environmental services and sustainability solutions.
"Together with CleanEnviro Summit Singapore, CMS Asia will connect policy dialogue, innovation, business exchange and technology sourcing in one place."
Alexander Lim, managing director of CleanEnviro Summit Singapore, adds:
"As the world faces increasingly complex environmental challenges, Singapore remains committed to driving global collaboration and advancing capabilities in environmental management. This partnership with Messe Berlin Asia Pacific reinforces that commitment and strengthens CleanEnviro Summit Singapore's role as a leading regional platform for policy dialogue, industry engagement, and innovation."
Developed by Messe Berlin Asia Pacific and adapted from the globally recognised CMS Berlin brand, CMS Asia is set to become a leading Asia Pacific business platform for cleaning, facilities management and environmental services. As part of the integrated regional platform, the CESG exhibition component will be branded as CMS Asia and organised by Messe Berlin Asia Pacific, leveraging the organisation’s exhibition expertise and international industry network. It will encompass industry solutions across cleaning hygiene, smart facilities management, waste & resource recovery, pest management, environmental monitoring and sustainability technologies, as well as public health technologies. Attuned to the realities of Asia Pacific's dense urban environments, tropical operating conditions and evolving sustainability requirements, CMS Asia will focus on practical and scalable solutions for cities, transport systems, healthcare facilities, public buildings and commercial infrastructure.
Visitors can expect a mix of country and city pavilions, themed exhibition areas and live demonstrations, offering hands-on insights into innovations ranging from robotic and autonomous cleaning systems to smart technologies for transport hubs, healthcare facilities and public infrastructure.
Through this partnership, CESG will provide the policy and thought-leadership dimension to the integrated regional platform, reinforcing Singapore's role as a hub for environmental policy exchange and innovation. Biennially, CESG convenes the world's policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, innovators and academics to discuss environmental governance, regulatory developments and practical solutions for sustainable and climate-resilient urban management.
The Summit also fosters the development and cross-sharing of innovative and scalable solutions to address environmental challenges, supported by formats such as the Sustainability Summit; Sustainability & Clean Environment Convention, covering Waste Management and Resource Circularity, Cleaning & Public Hygiene as well as Pest Management; and curated site visits.
As an integrated regional trade exhibition and conference platform, CMS Asia and CESG will offer participants a comprehensive programme combining exhibition, conference, business matching and live demonstrations. The platform aims to support higher standards of environmental hygiene, operational efficiency and sustainable urban management across Asia Pacific.
