DUBAI: The ‘Light + Intelligent Building Middle East’ exhibition for lighting, electrical engineering, and building technology will return from 16th-18th January at the Dubai World Trade Centre with 350 exhibitors, an 88% increase from last year.

Organised by Messe Frankfurt Middle East, the event is part of the international Light + Building brand and will be held under the theme, ‘Enlightened Futures: How responsibility will guide the future of buildings’.

Construction projects worth US$2.3 trillion are currently being planned or under development in the GCC region, which has led to significant growth in the lighting sector. Additionally, the region’s intelligent building market has grown considerably due to the increased demand for smart technologies, the emergence of 5G technology, and government initiatives.

‘The MENA region is witnessing a surge in demand for intelligent buildings, driven by growing awareness of the need for efficient and sustainable energy use and the reduction of CO2 emissions. At
the same time, the lighting sector in the region is experiencing considerable growth due to the booming construction industry in the Middle East,’ said Dishan Isaac, Show Director of Light + Intelligent Building Middle East.

The event will span three exhibition halls and cover 14,633 sqm, a 75% growth in exhibition space from last year. During the show, attendees can explore over 1,000 brands across six product sections, which include: ‘Technical Lighting’, ‘Electric Lamps and Components’, ‘Decorative Lighting’, ‘Architectural Lighting’, ‘Electrical Engineering’ and ‘Smart Home and Building Automation’.

Light + Intelligent Building Middle East will be held in conjunction with Intersec, the world’s leading trade fair for emergency services, security and safety, to create the MENA region’s leading trade fair for the building services industry.
