The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region’s leading event in lighting and building technologies, Light + Intelligent Building Middle East, will open its doors for the 18th time at the Dubai World Trade Centre from January 12 to 14, 2026. Held concurrently with Intersec Dubai, the event will host 93 companies from Türkiye, marking one of the strongest showcases of Turkish engineering and design expertise in the region.
Türkiye will showcase its production strength in the lighting and smart building systems sector in Dubai with the participation of 93 companies. Standing out with their strategic position in the global supply chain and high-quality manufacturing capabilities, Turkish brands aim to establish new export bridges through B2B meetings with more than 16,000 professional visitors expected from 126 countries.
Three Main Themes of 2026
The fair is structured around three main strategic themes aimed at addressing the challenges faced by the modern construction industry:
- Sustainable Transformation: Digital control technologies for energy management, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructures, and climate-neutral buildings.
- Smart Connectivity: IoT-based building automation, AI-powered management systems, and cybersecurity solutions.
- Living Light: Innovative designs that create atmosphere through human-centric lighting and smart home lighting control systems.
Smart Building Summit to Be Held
The “Smart Building Summit,” to be held as part of the fair, will bring together more than 130 international experts to discuss new regulations and standards across the region. Sessions attended by Mohamed Ahmed Amer, MENA Regional Director of the International Code Council (ICC), will focus on the region’s alignment with Construction 4.0 and sustainable building codes (IBC, IECC, IgCC). The summit will also highlight the impact of the concept of “interoperability,” where systems can communicate with one another, on operational resilience.
Throughout the fair, events such as the THINKLIGHT Conference and InSpotLight will welcome a wide audience ranging from lighting designers and architects to government officials and investors. Participants will have the opportunity to experience firsthand digital twins, BIM planning tools, and predictive maintenance technologies that transform buildings into smart systems.
