We are serious in this business, and looking forward to more new concepts such as the Future Zone. Vinod, Senior Manager – LED Lighting & Solar PV Solution, LG Electronic The great thing about the Future Zone is that it gives you the latest in the new world of lighting. The conference as well has a lot of designers and industry experts which is so nice for socialising. We had good support from the organiser which made Light Middle East a perfect place to exhibit at. Giuoliang Cai, Technical Designer, iGuzzini The quality of the visitors which is what we are looking for is so high and we have had very positive responses from our participation.

Paolo Manenti, Export Area Manager, ave – Italian Design This is our second time here. We are a regular at Light Frankfurt and we are happy to be here in Dubai as well. We have met our expectations, visitors numbers are high and it has been a fruitful experience for us. There are new leads and new contacts from all over the world – not only Dubai and the GCC.
