Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology (GEBT) Guangzhou

Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology (GEBT) is an international trade fair that has established itself since its inception in 2004 as a key platform for electrical engineering and intelligent building automation in Asia.

The event is organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd., a subsidiary of the renowned Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH. It takes place at the modern Canton Fair Complex (China Import and Export Fair Complex), one of the largest exhibition venues in Asia. GEBT is part of Messe Frankfurt’s global portfolio of building and electrical technology trade fairs, which also includes the well-known Light + Building in Frankfurt.

The fair targets industry professionals from building automation, architecture, engineering, and electrical sectors, as well as decision-makers from real estate, hospitality, and the public sector. Exhibitors represent a wide range of technological fields, including smart home solutions, energy management, lighting technology, security systems, and IT infrastructure.

At the heart of GEBT are the latest developments in intelligent building automation, energy-efficient technologies, smart power distribution, and AI-driven building systems. The event showcases innovative products and systems – from intelligent power distribution solutions to advanced lighting and audiovisual technologies, as well as new standards such as KNX and Matter that enable seamless interoperability. Special emphasis is placed on technologies aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions, integrating renewable energies like photovoltaics, and leveraging artificial intelligence in building management.

GEBT is more than just a product exhibition – it also serves as a central platform for knowledge-sharing and professional exchange. Expert lectures, seminars, and networking events provide up-to-date industry insights and foster international dialogue. Hands-on demonstrations and market-ready solutions make the event particularly valuable for developers, planners, and investors.

The city of Guangzhou, as an industrial hub of China and part of the Pearl River Delta innovation region, offers the fair additional strategic advantages. Thanks to its well-developed infrastructure, the exhibition center is easily accessible via metro, taxi, or shuttle bus.

With its clear focus on sustainable, digital, and connected building technologies, Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology is a specialized destination for all those looking to actively shape the future of intelligent buildings – a unique event within the Asian region.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 4 days of the fair, from 09. June to 12. June 2023, about 3318 exhibitors and 207681 visitors on the Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology (GEBT) in Guangzhou.
