Greater visibility and fast-tracking for the lighting industry – The elektrotechnik 2027 showcases light and lighting technology together in a thematically dedicated hall. Hall 7 enjoys its own entrance and direct passageways to Halls 4 and 6. From 16 to 18 February 2027, big-name manufacturers and specialists will be meeting up with the electrical trade and wholesalers, lighting and electrical designers, architects, users and local authority decision-makers.  

Dortmund, 20 July 2026 – Light is a key component in any cutting-edge building and infrastructure design. Energy efficiency, smart control systems, safety, quality of life, and design are increasingly planned as a single, unified, integrated concept. The elektrotechnik 2027 offers the sector a distinct and highly visible profile within the building, energy and industrial technology trade fair. A dedicated entrance offers direct access to the light-filled area. At the same time, the thematically specialised hall remains closely linked via passageways to Halls 4 and 6, showcasing a comprehensive range of electrical engineering products and services. 

Big-name exhibitors presenting everything from individual light fittings to networked lighting systems

The range on show in Hall 7 covers a wide variety of applications and requirements for professional lighting solutions. These include offerings for office and administration buildings, industry and logistics, educational and healthcare facilities, retail and public buildings, as well as for outdoor areas, traffic routes and municipal infrastructure. More still, smart lighting control systems, sensor technology, lighting management, and security and emergency lighting are also on show.

Relevance for skilled trades, planning, and operations

The new structure is not aimed solely at dyed-in-the-wool lighting specialists. The electrical trade and the wholesale sector are tapping into new areas of business at the intersection where lighting, sensor technology and building automation meet. Lighting and electrical designers, architectural and engineering firms, operators, industrial companies, energy suppliers and local authorities alike get to see the big picture of technical, design and energy-related solutions all in one place.

Dedicated specialist platform complements themed hall

The new themed hall will be complemented by a dedicated specialist platform focusing on lighting technology and design. The LiTG (German Society for Lighting Technology and Design) will be taking charge of substantive collaboration. The consolidation of content in Hall 7 sees the elektrotechnik systematically developing the lighting solutions scope on show. It creates a clearly organised forum for product presentations, personal business interaction and dialogue between manufacturers, the skilled trades, planners, architects, and users.
