Lightexpo Africa Nairobi
16. - 18. July 2025 | Trade fair for lighting, electrical engineering and energy solutions in Africa

Established in 2014, Lightexpo Africa has earned a reputation as the most significant trade exhibition for lighting technologies in East Africa. Each year, the renowned Kenyatta International Conference Center (KICC) in the heart of Nairobi transforms into a central hub for innovation in lighting, design, and sustainable energy use.
Organized by the experienced Expo Group UAE – one of the leading exhibition organizers in the Middle East and Africa – the event offers a specialized platform showcasing the latest developments in residential, commercial, and industrial lighting. The spotlight is on cutting-edge technologies, energy-efficient systems, smart control solutions, and approaches from the field of renewable energy. The fair attracts professionals from sectors such as business, architecture, engineering, urban planning, and public administration – not only from Africa but from around the world.
Lightexpo Africa stands out for its relevance to industry experts seeking a comprehensive overview of innovations such as LED applications, intelligent lighting control, solar technologies, architectural and stage lighting, and specialized solutions for transportation, marine, and infrastructure. The exhibition also covers advancements in power distribution, lighting optics, ballasts, and lighting electronics.
Its special status stems from its pioneering role in the East African lighting market. Nairobi – as the economic and technological hub of the region – benefits not only as the host city but also from the international attention the event attracts. The exhibition brings together exhibitors from sectors including electrical engineering, construction, urban development, event technology, and environmental technology with a knowledgeable and investment-ready audience.
Lightexpo Africa is part of a broader exhibition portfolio by the Expo Group, which also organizes similar events in Ethiopia and Tanzania. This ongoing commitment highlights the group’s long-term contribution to the advancement of modern infrastructure and energy efficiency across the African continent.
The centrally located KICC, an architectural landmark in Nairobi, offers the perfect venue for an event of this scale, featuring state-of-the-art infrastructure and excellent connectivity – both to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and to local public transport.
