For four days, BIEL Light + Building Buenos Aires 2023 became the ideal setting for the industry to meet again. The latest advances and cutting-edge technologies in automation, electronics, electricity, renewable energy, lighting and electrical installations were reflected in its aisles. Both visitors and exhibitors were able to meet face to face with colleagues, generate new contacts and do business.
Parallel to the exhibition, numerous academic activities were carried out with the aim of disseminating the most recent advances in the industry and research centers.
In this sense, the President and CEO of Messe Frankfurt Argentina, Fernando Gorbarán, highlighted: “As always, we work side by side to show the best that the industry has to offer. We are in a complex context and we have had to go through different moments after the pandemic. We invested a lot to have an excellent event and we achieved it. For this reason, we want to especially thank the exhibitors who were present to share the latest news and market trends with the sector”.
Along the same lines, the President of CADIEEL, José Tamborenea, expressed: “We are very happy with this edition of BIEL Light + Building Buenos Aires: it has been a success. The amount of public is remarkable, with full booths, and packed professional and technical meetings. It is a great joy to be able to enjoy this exhibition after four years, show the latest news and launches, and get in contact with customers, suppliers and market leaders again. We were able to share a common space with colleagues and friends where we highlighted that the national industry is strong, robust and prepared to meet the needs of the market”.
The discussion and professional training had a prominent space
As in each edition, the BIEL Academy was developed where the most important entities in the industry gave professional update conferences on energy, lighting and electrical installations. Meanwhile, the exhibitors offered technical talks, live product demos and gave an overview of the market situation.
For its part, the Argentine Association of Residential, Industrial and Commercial Electrical Installers (AAIERIC) presented “AAIERIC Experiences”. Within this framework, it carried out various demos, conferences, interactive games and informative talks, aimed at installers, technicians, engineers and students.
Another of the great attractions of the exhibition was Espacio LumiAR, developed jointly by Messe Frankfurt Argentina and the media 90+10. There, six design brands led by Argentine artists, designers and architects presented their latest projects and offered a glimpse of the current panorama of national lighting.
Young people were also main players of this edition
More than 1,600 young people were present and witnessed the potential of the sector. They had the opportunity to get closer to the industry and learn about each stage of the value chain. Within this framework, Messe Frankfurt Argentina, the Directorate of Technical Education of the Ministry of Education of the City of Buenos Aires and the Argentine Chamber of Electronic, Electromechanical and Lighting Industries (CADIEEL) organized "Future Professionals at BIEL Light + Building Buenos Aires”.
The activity was attended by more than 200 students from 11 secondary technical schools specializing in electricity, electromechanics and electronics, who attended the talk, "Present and Future of the Electrical Industry", and then took a guided tour of the booths.
Matchmaking Program
With the purpose of giving boost and opening new business opportunities for Argentine manufacturers, the 8th International Matchmaking Program of the Electrical, Electronic and Lighting Industry took place during BIEL Light + Building Buenos Aires.
More than 110 meetings were held between exhibitors and international buyers from Brazil, Paraguay, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. The activity was organized by the International Trade and Investment Agency and Messe Frankfurt Argentina.
