GILE (Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition) 2022 meets you in midsummer

Nine exhibition themes lead the new era of lighting

The 27th Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE) will be grandly held in the summer of 2022 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. The organizers are currently actively coordinating with the venue for a new exhibition date, while simultaneously intensifying preparations for the event. This edition will cover major lighting trends in the new era through 9 themes, leveraging the dual interaction of "Exhibition + Conference" to actively support the upgrading and transformation of the lighting industry and help enterprises explore new business opportunities.

2022 is an important watershed year for industry development. The new era brings new cycles, new situations, and new patterns, with vast market spaces full of opportunities. Enterprises should go with the flow, seize opportunities, innovate and develop, and uphold the banner of innovation in the lighting industry in the new era. At the same time, this is also an era full of challenges. Facing an unknown and volatile market environment, enterprises are constantly exploring and boldly trying, responding to all changes with innovation. As the bellwether of the global lighting industry, GILE shoulders the heavy responsibility of contributing to the sustained and healthy development of the lighting industry, once again gathering lighting industry professionals and a broad ecosystem to look forward to future trends and jointly seek business opportunities.

Regarding the vision for the development of the exhibition and the industry, Mr. Hu Zhongshun, General Manager of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co., Ltd., stated: "We plan the 2022 exhibition from the dimensions of 'Creative Thinking, Innovation, and Creation,' hoping to create more opportunities for the industry. Currently, it is a good era for the industry, with vast market spaces full of opportunities providing a stage for practitioners to gallop forward. With the arrival of the intelligent era and the continuous shift of the mainstream consumer group, digitalization and intelligence have become the mainstream of the industry. The cross-border integration of the Internet with big data and smart homes had no standards or experience to follow in the past; only by breaking traditions, daring to meet challenges, and creating trends with resilience can we better keep pace with the industry's era."

Innovation and Change, Breaking Through Against the Tide — 9 Themes of the 2022 Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition

4. Cultural Tourism Night Tours — Cultural Tourism Night Tour Landscape Ecology Exchange Conference (Cultural Tourism Night Tour Landscape Ecology Exchange Conference (Hall 2.1))

This year, the "14th Five-Year Plan" for Culture and Tourism Development (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") was released and implemented, laying out the development of domestic culture and tourism over the next five years. It is regarded as a concrete manifestation of the strategy to build a culturally strong nation. The "Plan" strives to ensure that by 2025, domestic cultural undertakings, the cultural industry, and the tourism industry will become powerful drivers and important supports for economic and social development and comprehensive national strength competition. To promote the development of China's cultural tourism night tour industry and build an industrial ecosystem chain for cultural tourism lighting, GILE and Aladdin All-Media, together with owners, investors, content planners, scheme design units, innovative product enterprises, construction contractors, and project operators from seven major fields, have planned the "Cultural Tourism Night Tour Landscape Ecology Exchange Conference" to continue deepening, innovating, and expanding the cross-border integration of the cultural tourism night tour industry.

6. Light quality, healthy light quality, health —— Light for Life Pavilion (Light for Life Pavilion (Hall 3.2))

From traditional incandescent lamps to energy-saving LED lamps, lighting companies have been striving tirelessly for people's brighter and better lives. As the concepts of people-centricity and green sustainability penetrate various industries and people's lives, the lighting industry has been entrusted with new responsibilities: to bring beautiful light into people's daily lives, urban construction, and various fields such as agriculture, industry, commerce, and trade, playing a more profound role beyond "lighting". The "Light for Life" pavilion will debut at this exhibition, showcasing the scientific research achievements of lighting companies in light health and niche fields.

7. Livestock, plant, aquaculture lighting —— Biological Lighting Demonstration Zone (Biological Lighting Demonstration Zone (Hall 3.2))

The birth of horticultural lighting has made year-round sustainable planting possible, with some calling this field the "global granary". Horticultural lighting can help crops grow better in greenhouses. By cooperating with smart lighting systems, it adjusts the optimal light color, luminance, and even temperature for different types of crops to ensure harvests. Beyond meeting people's basic food needs, advanced technology brings us higher-quality agricultural products. GILE joins hands with the Shenzhen Facility Agriculture Industry Association to create the "Biological Lighting Demonstration Zone", which will showcase solutions for plant factories and agricultural smart lighting.

8. Smart City & Infrastructure (Halls 3.1, 4.1 & 5.1)

As the demand for urban smart development increases, smart poles and related IoT technologies and intelligent control systems are entering a period of rapid growth. GILE (Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition) 2022 will join forces with numerous smart pole enterprises in Halls 3.1, 4.1, and 5.1 of Zone A to present major exhibits, bringing the latest developments and innovation trends in the smart streetlight industry to the sector.

9. Residential & Commercial Spaces (Halls 11.2, 12.2 & 13.2)

Driven by smart homes, user-experience-centric commercial space design, and the major trend of lighting without main fixtures, China's decorative lighting industry is entering a new stage focused on originality, innovation, and commercial implementation. This exhibition will plan five major halls in Zone B (Halls 9.2 to 13.2), with residential and commercial lighting as the main theme, presenting aesthetic designs of home luminaires and innovative applications of commercial light environments.
