GILE 2023 opens on 9 June with over 3000 exhibitors across 22 halls

The 28th edition of Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE) will take place under the theme of “Light +”, from 9 – 12 June 2023 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex. Concurrently held with the Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology (GEBT), the two fairs will expand to occupy areas A, B, and the new area D, covering a total of 220,000 sqm across 22 halls. The fair will explore exciting opportunities in the lighting industry, such as more human-centric interior design, advances in AIoT technology, and changes in consumer behaviour patterns.

The development of the “Light +” concept has brought about broader growth for the industry and ushered in an era of transformation among lighting firms. On the industry’s future, Ms Lucia Wong, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd commented: “The adoption of lighting technology across different industries will act as a catalyst for new technological progress, also driving explosive growth in specialised application fields.”

3,318 exhibitors gather at this year’s fair

GILE not only brings together the entire lighting supply chain, but also features AIoT technology, new energy lighting, new media art and other related fields. In addition, GILE and the concurrent GEBT will explore the applications of lighting in smart buildings and home automation, giving audiences the chance to learn about the business opportunities available by integrating lighting technology in smart buildings and establishing strategic partnerships between industries.

On the fair's increase in scale, Ms Lucia Wong added: “This demonstrates the industry's support for the show and confidence in the future of the market. GILE will present the best of the lighting industry to fairgoers and ensure a well-organised layout and traffic flow. Every single one of the 22 halls is well worth a visit.”

Ms Lucia Wong said: “Every exhibitor's hard work brings the concept of Light + into reality. GILE is sure to live up to expectations, seeking opportunities, exploring resources, and opening up a bright future for every industry player.”
