Concurrently held with the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE), the two fairs are expected to host more than 3,000 domestic and international exhibitors across 22 halls, sending out a positive signal of the industry’s recovery.
The 14th Five-Year Plan (FYP) put forward by the Chinese Government includes clear targets to reduce carbon emissions, which the building and real estate sectors are key industries that support this. The plan suggests that all new buildings in Chinese urban areas should be constructed in accordance with green building standards by 2025[1], to effectively control the growth of carbon emissions.
Meanwhile, implementing intelligent building technology is one of the major driving forces of green transformation within the industry. At the end of last year, 24 cities, including Beijing, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Qingdao, were announced to become pilot cities for intelligent construction[2], to encourage the industry towards green transformation and create more business opportunities.
Ms Lucia Wong, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd said: “GEBT has always been an ideal platform for leading players in the intelligent building and electrical engineering industry to expand their business networks. The significant rebound in exhibitor numbers at this year's show indicates that there is confidence in the industry's prospects. At the same time, echoing the Chinese government’s green policies, we are looking forward to meeting all of our peers at the fairground to explore the future of green development.”
GEBT expands to cover four major industry sectors
The two fairs will take place concurrently in areas A, B, and D of the China Import and Export Fair Complex to promote cross-industry exchange and cooperation. Among the 22 halls, GEBT will be located in hall 5.2 in area A and halls 11.2 and 11.3 in Zone B.

This has led to the holding of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) North Asia's “Towards 2060 Carbon Neutral” summit series. The series aims to create an ideal platform for experts from various sectors to exchange ideas and explore ways to achieve net zero emissions in buildings, communities and cities.
