Attending the event were Zhou Jintian, Committee Member and Deputy Mayor of Guzhen Town, representatives from Shanghai Sinoexpo Informa Markets International Exhibition Co., Ltd. and Guzhen Lighting Expo Co., Ltd., as well as dozens of lighting industry entrepreneurs and media reporters.

According to reports, the 2024 Guzhen Lighting Fair (Shenzhen Special Exhibition) will make a grand debut at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Bao’an District) from December 12-14, 2024! The Guzhen Lighting Fair is dedicated to a comprehensive display of the lighting industry chain, and the Shenzhen Special Exhibition is an extension of the fair, representing an innovation in resource crossover and integration. This dual-city collaboration aims to build a one-stop exhibition and sales platform, assisting high-quality lighting brands in linking with diverse resources such as dining, hotels, furniture, health, and lifestyle, thereby achieving industrial integration and innovative development.

At the press conference, Zhou Jintian, Committee Member and Deputy Mayor of Guzhen Town, stated: “With the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, the direct distance between Guzhen Town and Bao’an District in Shenzhen is now only about 80 kilometers. The ‘one-hour economic circle’ will accelerate the maturity of the ‘Shenzhen R&D + Zhongshan Manufacturing’ model in the lighting industry. This not only attracts high-tech enterprises and talent resources from Shenzhen but also brings innovative momentum to Guzhen’s industry. By holding the Guzhen Lighting Fair (Shenzhen Special Exhibition), we are confident in accelerating the deepening of the collaborative development model of ‘Shenzhen Leading + Zhongshan Supporting’ and ‘Shenzhen R&D + Zhongshan Transformation’, thereby enhancing the influence and reputation of Guzhen’s ‘specialized and versatile’ regional brand.”

Du Haiyan, Project Director of Shanghai Sinoexpo Informa Markets International Exhibition Co., Ltd., delivered a speech on the latest developments and highlights of the Informa Markets Shenzhen Joint Exhibition and its subsidiary, the 2024 Shenzhen International Hospitality and Commercial Space Expo (HOTEL&SHOP PLUS). She mentioned that HOTEL&SHOP PLUS has been deeply rooted in the industry for over 30 years, gathering all of Informa Markets’ advantageous resources. Through the annual dual exhibitions in Shanghai and Shenzhen, they are expanding into the Greater Bay Area market, filling the gap in professional exhibitions for hotels and commercial spaces in Shenzhen, and fully building and expanding the cross-border ecosystem of hospitality and commercial spaces. The addition of the Guzhen Lighting Fair (Shenzhen Special Exhibition) will reach more industries and circles, deepening the integration and development with various themed exhibitions, helping enterprises and industries move towards broader market prospects.

Lin Huabiao, General Manager of Guzhen Lighting Expo Co., Ltd., announced two significant pieces of news on the spot. He stated: “First, the exhibition area for the 31st Guzhen Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) has reached 90% capacity. We will continue to expand the exhibition space, adding a comprehensive Pavilion H to bring more opportunities for exchange and cooperation to the industry. Second, in December this year, we will step out of Guzhen and hold the Guzhen Lighting Fair (Shenzhen Special Exhibition) in Shenzhen, combining the diversification of lifestyle with the multi-dimensionality of commercial experience to create a brand-new exhibition platform.”

Subsequently, multiple media reporters actively raised questions and discussed how to leverage the historical opportunity of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge opening to promote the integration, technological innovation, and industrial collaboration of the lighting industry and hospitality and commercial spaces, as well as to enhance exchanges and cooperation between Zhongshan and Shenzhen and promote high-quality economic development.
