Complementary resources fuel industrial integration between Shenzhen and Zhongshan

The construction of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor is scheduled to be completed and open to traffic in 2024, and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan integration has become an important effort in the Guangdong – Hong Kong SAR – Macao SAR Greater Bay Area. The “R&D in Shenzhen + Manufacturing in Zhongshan” model in the lighting industry is also constantly evolving.

Accordingly, the GILF’s main venue further expands the space for brands from Shenzhen and Zhongshan to support Zhongshan’s lighting industry while attracting more Shenzhen high-tech companies to invest in Zhongshan and cooperate with partners here. As two major LED lighting producers- the two cities will be able to create synergies in branding, ecosystem, R&D, product positioning, channel coverage, etc.

Comprehensive intelligent series and the rise of scenario-based service solutions

With the maturity of the Internet of Things and AI technology, smart lighting is transforming life and work. At the coming edition of the GILF, exhibitors will employ crossover integration and customization to present a full range of intelligent products and application management platforms. They will provide multi-dimensional, real-life demonstrations of core lighting technology and comprehensive intelligent lighting solutions. Through the development and design of intelligent chips and drivers and integration of various control methods such as Bluetooth, voice control, switches, and apps, they will incorporate the concept of healthy lighting, showcasing cutting-edge and diverse intelligent lighting products and technologies.

Setting off anew and striving for the transformation of technological achievements for carbon peaking and neutralization

New energy, new infrastructure, and new growth are leading topics nowadays. Aligning with the national policy for carbon peaking and neutrality policies, the GILF focuses on products for new infrastructure, smart transportation, cultural and tourism sites, new energy, and energy storage — not just to support the development of smart cities and boost night-time economy, but to drive the steady realization of the carbon peaking and neutrality goals.

The exhibition becomes increasingly attractive to more outdoor lighting and decoration brands utilizing new energy. It has been actively guiding exhibitors to focus on and apply new energy and the combination of night-time economy and lighting products and expand the applications of new energy lighting by creating a dynamic lighting experience area that integrates viewing, entertainment, and interaction.

Leading trends with originality and focusing on specialization and innovation

Upholding support for original design, specialization, and innovation, the coming GILF will spotlight design, workmanship, and functional creativity. The Zhongshan Lighting Intellectual Property Rights Protection Center will set up an onsite counter helping in protecting intellectual property rights.

The GILF is also home to numerous “champions” from various specialized fields. Beyond general lighting products, there will be high-power heat dissipation technologies, fire emergency lights, educational lighting, explosion-proof lights, fan lights, and projection lights from powerhouse enterprises in multiple niche areas, showcasing their “specialized and innovative” advantages to global buyers in a vivid and comprehensive manner.

High-level forums + procurement festivals, diverse and exciting activities

Marking the GILF’s 30th anniversary, the main and sub-venues will host high-level conferences, themed activities, and promotional festivals, such as “Sourcing Season,” “New Trends,” “Art Festival,” and “live-streaming of sub-venue tours.”
