Light Middle East 2016 The smart way of seeing through the light Since our inception, exhibitors have entrusted us with creating a uniquely innovative platform attracting the most relevant visitors and resulting in productive business connections. The 2016 edition will shine the spotlight on smart lighting concepts. Smart lighting has been identified as an integral component of the overall strategy for Dubai Plan 2021 – a smart city strategy aimed at placing Dubai as the smartest city in the world over the next few years. Join us to catch a glimpse of the future as we showcase cutting edge methods to harness the power of lighting technology that will minimise the use of energy while reducing waste and resource consumption.
“The show is a great platform for us to make a comeback in the market. We have been communicating with other competitors here and have been able to gather a good database of potential customers. We appreciate the on-going support of the organisers from the start till the end of the exhibition. We have been able to meet potential customers and are in talks with them for signing business contracts.” Parakshit Dey, General Manager-Lighting, Gargash Lighting Systems LLC.
