The Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE) began at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, commemorating its 30th anniversary. GILE has launched the "illuminnovation lab" this year, a series of events geared at boosting industrial collaboration and pushing technological innovations. Unlike traditional exhibitions, GILE has gone beyond its primary event from June 9 to 12 with year-round events involving focus group talks, research forums, technical lectures, and networking in key Chinese cities.
