Urbanisation and the high demand for living space are creating challenges for cities: new buildings are expensive, and many properties remain vacant. Flexible utilisation concepts and sustainable renovations are in demand. Intelligent spatial planning integrates energy-efficient technologies, smart infrastructure, renewable energies, and intelligent lighting concepts. Light + Building, taking place from 8 to 13 March 2026 in Frankfurt am Main, will showcase these innovations. Exhibitors can register now for the world's leading trade fair for lighting and building services technology.
Exhibitors can already register
The trade fair for lighting and building services technology is the international meeting place for manufacturers from the fields of lighting, electrical engineering, home and building automation, and connected security technology. Planning for the 2026 event has already begun.
Steffen Larbig provides an initial outlook: 'My experienced team, our partners, and I are working hard to continue the success story of Light + Building in 2026. There are already many exciting projects on the horizon that will characterise the industry meeting place. I can therefore already say that it will be an attractive platform for architects, interior architects, designers, planners, and engineers, as well as for trade, commerce, and industry across all sectors, in a very international and attractive environment in the centre of Frankfurt and the heart of Europe. We look forward to talking to all the companies that want to take part in order to create the best possible conditions for the presentation of their companies, personal meetings with customers, and, of course, business.'
'Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces'
The motto of the international innovation show in 2026 is "Be Electrified - Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces." This underlines what has been driving the lighting and building services technology sectors for a long time. 'The electrification and digitalisation of existing buildings in particular continue to be major and fundamental topics,' explains Steffen Larbig, Brand Manager of Light + Building.
The addition of "Electrifying Places" and "Illuminating Spaces" places the two major core areas of lighting and building technology directly at the centre: Electrifying Places refers to the ongoing development and connectivity of urban spaces and the need to efficiently electrify buildings and supply them with electricity sustainably. Illuminating Spaces focuses on the design aspects of lighting technology. Whether indoors or outdoors, lighting is more than just a functional light source. Design, material, and styling combine harmoniously with architecture and surroundings, directly influencing the emotional experience of a space.
The international network of Light + Building consists of 14 trade fairs worldwide. Spread across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North and South America, they offer companies access to growth markets.
