Ms Lucia Wong, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, conveyed her gratitude for the unwavering support from the industry towards the event: “In the era of ‘Light +’, the lighting industry is poised to expand its horizons with an array of new applications. The theme of this year’s show, ‘Light – The Power of Infinity’ symbolises the boundless possibilities of light, encompassing AIoT, optical communication, big data, healthcare, lifestyle, low carbon and new energy solutions, aquaculture, new media arts, extended reality, and countless other domains. It is at events like GILE where this can be made into reality, and the huge number of participants at this year’s show along with the incredibly positive feedback we’ve received proves that we are indeed succeeding in this effort. I would therefore like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the industry for their invaluable contribution in making GILE possible and helping the show to reach new heights.”
