Additional Value of Attending 

Each edition of Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition organises itself around a guiding theme to present visitors with a cohesive, productive experience. For 2023, “Light +” was chosen as the focal theme. The fair aims to explore how lighting can be integrated with other industries to improve people's lives. The theme revolves around five new elements, namely “new retail”, “new manufacturing”, “new technology”, “new finance” and “new energy”. These elements are then coupled with new lifestyle trends such as experience-oriented living, smart, healthy and low carbon lifestyles, resulting in an unforgettable event. 

The “Light +” concept highlights popular trends that are shaping the urban planning, architecture and the lighting industry as a whole. GILE 2023 is expected to be an exciting platform for lighting industry players to showcase their latest innovations, ideas, and technologies that enhance the quality of life. 

The industry has always been at the forefront of embracing new trends and technologies to improve the applications of light. From individual lighting fixtures to interconnectivity of AIoT devices, the industry is continuously evolving towards creating a better future for lighting. GILE 2023 does an impeccable job at providing a perfect opportunity for industry players to collaborate and work together to shape the future of lighting technology.
