From 8 to 13 March 2026, Light + Building will once again open its doors in Frankfurt am Main. The international showcase for innovation will be held under the motto “Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces.”, shining a spotlight on its two core areas: lighting and building services technology.
Electrifying Places highlights the ongoing development and interconnection of urban spaces, as well as the need to electrify buildings efficiently and supply them with energy in a sustainable way.
Illuminating Spaces puts the design aspects of lighting technology centre stage. Whether indoors or outdoors – lighting is more than just a functional source of light. Design, materials and form harmoniously connect with architecture and surroundings, shaping the emotional experience of space in a direct and impactful way.
