Signify confirms its participation in Light + Building 2026, showcasing innovation and commitment to sustainable, connected lighting solutions.

In a major announcement, Signify has confirmed its return to Light + Building 2026, the world’s leading trade fair for lighting and building services technology. The event will take place March 8–13, 2026, at Messe Frankfurt.

This decision sends a strong message to the global lighting industry. As the world’s largest lighting company, Signify’s presence reaffirms Light + Building’s role as the premier international platform for lighting and building innovations.

A Boost for the Lighting Industry

Signify’s return is more than symbolic—it’s strategic. After the success of the 2024 edition, the company’s commitment adds momentum to Light + Building 2026. It’s also likely to encourage other top-tier manufacturers and solution providers to join.

According to Željko Kosanović, CEO ad interim at Signify, “We’re excited to showcase the latest innovations from our portfolio of leading brands to customers from across Europe and beyond.” He added that Signify is committed to delivering smart, connected, and sustainable lighting that enhances productivity, well-being, and entertainment.

What to Expect at the Signify Booth

Located in Hall 5.1, Signify’s booth will feature an immersive, hands-on experience. Visitors will explore the company’s full ecosystem of technologies and see real-world applications in intelligent buildings, connected outdoor lighting, and smart home environments.

Key innovations will include:

  • myCreation – customizable 3D-printed lighting
  • NatureConnect – lighting designed for well-being
  • BrightSites – smart poles combining lighting and connectivity
  • Interact IoT – software powering connected lighting systems
  • Philips LED luminaires and Dynalite lighting controls
  • Smart home favorites: Philips Hue and WiZ

Each product demonstrates Signify’s commitment to pushing boundaries in lighting technology.

Strengthening Industry Connections

More importantly, Signify’s participation helps restore faith in the power of in-person industry events. Trade fairs like Light + Building remain essential for networking, collaboration, and showcasing next-generation solutions. While there’s hope this move might signal a future return to LightFair, for now, it’s a big win for Frankfurt and the European market.

This announcement confirms Signify’s role not just as a manufacturer, but as a global leader helping shape the future of smart, sustainable lighting.
