SIBT and SSHT return in August to promote smart industry exchange

Ms Lucia Wong, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd said: “The building industry is now deeply integrated with the new generation of information technology, connecting all corners of the industry. This can enhance the quality and efficiency of its development as well as achieve green and low-carbon transformation. SIBT and SSHT will therefore continue to provide an open business platform as cross-industry cooperation emerges as a major trend for the future landscape of intelligent buildings.”

In line with market development, SIBT and SSHT will create synergies and encourage exchange between smart industries. At the same time, different forums and seminars will be offered to explore industry trends in various sectors such as smart communities, smart facility management, intelligent buildings, smart homes and more. Highlights include:

Smart hotel

SIBT will partner with Meadin, a media platform specialised in space utilisation within commercial areas to hold the Meadin Smart Hotel Development Forum, which will discuss the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) as well as smart development and its applications within hotels. Topics include: “Empowering Hotel Digitalisation with AIoT for Cost Efficiencies” and “Analysis of Smart Hotel Trends”.

Smart campus

The “14th Five-Year Plan” aims for greater technological adoption in teaching environments including the construction of smart campuses, which will introduce additional opportunities within the educational sector. SIBT will invite experts to share related experiences in a smart campus themed forum, such as the integration of information technology and education as well as trends in building smart campuses.

Smart home

Organised by China Smart Home Industry Alliance (CSHIA), the CSHIA East China Summit – Smart Home Integration Innovation Forum 2023 will cooperate with leading smart home companies to explore the current trends about the integration of smart technologies across various contexts.

Smart audio-visual

With the rise of living standards across China, the home theatre market is expanding with the introduction of many new technologies for interconnected smart home devices. The “SSHT Home Audio-Visual Entertainment Innovative Integration Forum” will highlight the future trends in home theatre consumption, as well as installation solutions for home audio-visual entertainment.

Smart office

The OffiSmart Summit will explore multiple topics including digitalisation, workplace flexibility, Generation Z office habits, environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and virtual offices in the Metaverse. The summit aims to uncover new business opportunities and discuss smart office solutions that meet changing workplace demands.

In cooperation with Tongji University and DISCIEN, the event will also cover facility management in properties and commercial spaces, cloud-based meetings and other hot issues.

Smart parking

Parking China will once again be held concurrently with SIBT, SSHT and the SSOT zone. Teaming up with the China Urban Parking Industry Association, the fair will organise the China Urban Industry Integration Development Summit. The programme plans to gather industry experts, supervisors and leading company representatives to exchange ideas about the latest parking policies as well as urban parking planning and construction.

To keep up with the rapid development of new energy and connected vehicles, the event will also explore a selection of battery charging and swapping technologies, and present insights on these topics from leading academics and government representatives.
