Discover the future of work and lifestyle at SIBT and SSHT 2024
Embracing the theme “Smart Spaces, Smart Living”, this year’s Shanghai Intelligent Building Technology (SIBT) and Shanghai Smart Home Technology (SSHT) will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from 3 – 5 September. As an efficient and professional communication platform for the intelligent building industry, the 2024 edition will bring together leading companies and industry players to highlight the infinite possibilities of smart spaces. Showcases will include innovative technologies and solutions for residential, commercial and entertainment spaces, as well as sustainable lifestyles, all revealing how smart technology can be leveraged to enhance people’s everyday lives.
With the rapid advancement of cutting-edge technologies like 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), building facilities have become increasingly interconnected, creating a more comfortable and convenient living environment. In recent years, the smart development of living and working spaces has emerged as a prominent trend in the industry. For instance, the adoption rate of smart home systems in China’s high-end home decoration market climbed from 9.6% in 2021 to 20.5% in 2023<1>, marking a steady increase over three consecutive years.

Co-creating “Smart Spaces” with industry partners
In response to the needs of both the market and the industry, this year’s fairs will centre on promoting the development of smart spaces, featuring innovative technologies and solutions for both residential and commercial spaces.
    Meanwhile, the smart lighting industry is shifting from being purely functional towards having an emphasis on enhancing the aesthetic appeal of spaces, creating ambient environments, and incorporating multi-functional capabilities. To support this transformation, the fairs will host a number of leading brands, to showcase solutions for various application scenarios.
    Elsewhere, the highly commended “Audio-Visual Integration and Home Theatre Zone” will display smart home products including audio-visual systems, smart lighting, smart curtains, and more. This zone will create immersive whole-house audio-visual experiences and explore more possibilities for home entertainment.
    Furthermore, this year’s edition will collaborate with industry partners to set up the “DISCIEN Future Meeting Zone”, the “UWA Global Ultra-High-Definition Video Industry Alliance Zone”, the “Facility Management Service Provider Zone” and the “Healthy Lifestyle Pavilion”, presenting a comprehensive display of innovative applications of smart technologies across diverse scenarios.

Constructing a comprehensive “Smart Living” ecosystem
SIBT and SSHT, alongside Parking China (PKC) and Shanghai Smart Office Technology (SSOT), will be held concurrently to form synergies between smart industries, and jointly highlight the applications of smart technology in space management and design across various sectors. This will cater to people’s demands for high-quality lifestyles, and showcase the convenience and comfort brought by the new lifestyles made possible through “Smart Spaces”.
    PKC aims to establish an international exchange platform focused on the urban parking ecosystem. Running under the theme of “Breaking the boundaries of parking through smart technology”, the 2024 edition brings together leading smart parking technology and service suppliers to help companies establish a comprehensive industry chain.
    SSOT focuses on building a professional platform to showcase the office technologies of the future. This year's edition will embrace the theme of “Beyond Imagination”, featuring the latest transformations in work and office spaces, as well as intelligent office spaces that enhance working environments, work efficiency, employee well-being and satisfaction.
    In addition, a series of forums will take place concurrently alongside the four exhibitions. More than a hundred industry experts and professionals will come together to discuss trending topics, covering areas such as urban renewal, smart spaces, facility management, electrical engineering, battery charging and swapping in smart parking, smart gerontechnology, smart administration, and healthy building.
