Messe Frankfurt India Announces Entry Into Building Technology Sector With the Launch of Electrical Building Technology India

MUMBAI, October 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    New Trade Fair to Take Place Alongside Light India in 2016 

    After establishing a strong foothold in the lighting and automation sectors through
its leading trade fair brands - Light India, LED Expo, SPS Automation India, Control &
Motek India, Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt. Ltd. continues its growth streak in
India by bringing this expertise to the building technology sector. The Indian subsidiary
of one of the world's leading trade fair organisers announced its plans of launching the
Electrical Building Technology India today.

    The new fair targeting electrical engineering and building automation technologies
will make its debut on 5 - 7 October 2016 at Pragati Maidan, alongside the premier Light
India trade fair in New Delhi.

    India's smart cities vision has finally begun to take shape with the government's
ambitious 100 smart cities programme. For the home automation and lighting industries,
this is the most opportune time to launch the show in India. The country's rapid economic
growth and metropolitan shift are making developers go beyond conventional luxury living
concepts into ones that represent the standards of the future with integrated
communications, better comfort, accessibility and safety.

    Amidst the recent infrastructure developments, many existing cities will be remodelled
as the government's new Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)
scheme is committed to spend INR 50,000 crore (USD 8 billion) over the next five years for
500 cities and towns.

    Against this lucrative background, the combined fairs targeting pivotal segments of
electrical engineering, building and home automation technologies such as: smart home and
community management systems, building efficiency and energy management systems, light
control systems, video surveillance, access control and home security systems, hotel
intelligent systems and products, audio/video will present a specialised business venue.
Designers, architects, building contractors, developers, engineers, government
decision-makers and project planners can interact and team up with technology players for
their future-oriented building design and construction ventures.

    Considering the massive growth in construction and inefficiencies, buildings alone
contribute to about 40 percent of the world's total carbon footprint. Lighting is one of
the key segments that can bring down power consumption and energy expenditures. Together
with the apex body of Lighting Manufacturers in India - ELCOMA, Messe Frankfurt India has
been involved in the promotion and adoption of energy-efficient technologies over the
years. The German trade fair organiser's vast expertise in organising the globally
renowned Light + Building brand and its robust global network will also benefit the
segment by bringing the innovators and leaders of lighting and building technologies to
India.

    Speaking about the new launch, Mr. Raj Manek, Executive Director and Board Member of
Messe Frankfurt Asia Holding Ltd, said: "Prioritising energy efficiency and automation in
building design and construction have come to be of vital importance today. Even the
lighting field is dominated by technologies that focus on energy management and digital
integration. Merging these high growth sectors through the Electrical Building Technology
India and our industry-leading Light India fair will create valuable synergies and draw
attention to innovations in the fields of lighting, electrical engineering, home and
building automation for the Indian market, which is in the prime stage of planning smart
cities."  

    The premier edition that will bring technology experts from both building systems and
lighting sides in the capital city amidst decision makers would thus play an important
role in highlighting the future of Electrical Building Technology in India. The co-located
fairs will take place from 5 - 7 October 2016 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

    Electrical Building Technology India is a part of Messe Frankfurt's building and
energy shows, headed by the biennial Light + Building event in Frankfurt, Germany, which
will take place from 13 - 18 March 2016. Additionally, light and building fairs will also
be hosted in Argentina, the United Arab Emirates, Russia and China.
