The countdown to Light + Building 2026 has begun

Urbanisation and the high demand for living space create challenges for cities: new buildings are expensive and many properties remain empty. 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 from 8th to 13th 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.

Companies that declare their participation by 30th April 2025 will benefit from the attractive early bird price. After that, the regular stand rental prices will apply. All information on participation at: www.light-building.com/intention-exhibit

The world’s leading 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 trades in a very international and attractive environment in the centre of Frankfurt and in the heart of Europe. We are looking 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 respective 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 constant development and connectivity of urban spaces and the need to efficiently electrify buildings and supply them with electricity in a sustainable way. 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 and directly characterise the emotional experience of a space.

The international network of Light + Building consists of 14 trade fairs worldwide. Spread around the world, they offer companies access to the growth markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North and South America. Depending on the regional conditions, the various trades from the lighting and building technology sectors present themselves here. An overview of all the events in the portfolio can be found at: www.light-building.com/brand.
