Lighting has evolved far from its role to simply illuminate a space and is continuously being utilised in innovative ways. For instance, human centric lighting can be applied within buildings to evoke specific emotions in commercial and office spaces, whilst hospitals can use it to positively impact the health of patients. Furthermore, as economic and environmental issues drive the push towards connected cities, smart lighting is set to be an integral part of the metropolises of the future from interconnected streetlights to universal IoT platforms integrated within the household. Such advancements demonstrate how the scope of the lighting industry is constantly growing and over the years, GILE has and will continue to grow with it. This year, the fair will explore every aspect of the lighting ecosystem, providing a platform for sourcing needs and business opportunities whilst encouraging exhibitors and visitors to share the latest market information and research.

On the lighting industry outlook, Ms Lucia Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, commented: “As the market continues to evolve, it is positive to see how the latest technologies which have been embraced by the industry have enabled advancements with LED colour, design and wavelength to name but a few. Such technologies, together with other ‘smart’ innovations have been driven forward to satisfy the market demand for energy efficient products and processes, whilst environmental concerns continue to arise as a global and industry issue.”

Ms Wong also shared her views on the positioning of GILE: “With more than 25 years behind us, the show continues to develop alongside the ever-changing lighting industry. With its global outlook and in-depth range of exhibits, GILE continues to serve as a central hub for business exchange, trade, education and networking for the lighting industry”.
