The 31st Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE) and the Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology opened on June 9 at the Canton Fair Complex. The Zhongshan Light Industry Association, in collaboration with the Zhongshan Federation of Industry and Commerce, invited over 100 entrepreneurs to attend the fair for exchange.

The event brought together 2,802 exhibitors from 18 countries and regions, including over 50 premium Zhongshan companies showcasing their latest technology, innovative products and solutions.

At the booth of a smart home lighting firm, the latest whole-house intelligent dimming system drew a steady stream of visitors who stopped to experience and negotiate potential deals.

"Foot traffic far exceeded our expectations. We connected with several new buyers from Southeast Asia. It is a highly productive show for our market expansion," said the owner of the company.
