The concurrent activities of the 2023 Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition will launch nine major circles to welcome the implementation of diversified application markets with the industry

With the theme of "Light + Future", the 2023 Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE) will move forward in hope with the industry, seize opportunities, innovate and develop, and create current trends. In the face of new business and life models, and new technologies are being tested with new fires, many lighting companies have made positive achievements in the technologies and applications they have laid out for many years. They are waiting for an east wind to share the fruits with all walks of life.

As a benchmark in the lighting industry, GILE provides the preferred information exchange and procurement platform for the global lighting industry. The 28th exhibition will be held in Areas A, B and D of the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou from June 9 to 12, 2023. It will bring together more than 2,600 exhibitors and present the "Light + Future" blueprint to the global lighting industry with six major focuses and nine major circle activities.

The lighting industry will usher in a new atmosphere in 2023. While the scale of the industry continues to expand, it is also upgrading and transforming to high quality. The B-side is integrated and the C-side is personalized, injecting more cross-border integration resources into the lighting industry, as well as personalized lamps and scene design. Facing the future, GILE is committed to building a communication platform for the industry, promoting sales and business cooperation, and also providing cross-border communication opportunities and forward-looking information for the industry, allowing industry players to rethink how to stimulate the innovative vitality of the industry, how to promote further iterative development of the industry, and how to further radiate value and power.

Regarding the new atmosphere of the industry, Mr. Hu Zhongshun, general manager of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co., Ltd. said: "2023 will be a new year for the industry. Starting point, new infrastructure, night economy, dual circulation, stay-at-home economy, post-epidemic, carbon neutrality, new energy and other general trends will bring more opportunities to the lighting industry. Facing new opportunities, lighting people need to use new thinking to plan products. Lighting is no longer purely functional lighting, but interconnected lighting systems and personalized scenes and lamps.

Opportunities and challenges always coexist. Consumers born in the 2000s and 90s have formed a very important main force and are rapidly occupying the lighting market. Their pursuit of technological aesthetics, immersive experience and independence brings new challenges to design. The industry needs to use new designs (experience scene design), new technologies (optical communication Li-Fi, optical imaging technology, optical health technology, overall interconnection solutions, etc.), new marketing (service and technology marketing) and new channels (online and offline integration) to face new consumption models. I believe that lighting people will embark on a more exciting new track in the future. ”
