Welcome to Light + Building

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.

The three top themes – “Sustainable Transformation”, “Smart Connectivity” and “Living Light” – provide orientation in a dynamic market. They reflect the trends and developments driving the industry today – and shaping it tomorrow. These themes will run like a common thread through the events during Light + Building.
