With more than 100 concurrent seminars and forums, the show also provides a platform for the industry to communicate, cooperate and create valuable business opportunities.

     Commenting on the show, Ms Lucia Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd said, “Thanks to the input and dedication of our industry peers, the lighting sector is moving forward positively, despite the challenges faced this year. And as we celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary – a tremendous achievement for us as the fair organiser and for the industry as a whole – we are proud that even during these unprecedented times, GILE continues to serve as a leading platform to facilitate business exchange, communication and knowledge sharing. This year, the fair will showcase products from the entire supply chain along with new technologies in the midst of this current transformative period for the industry.
