What to see | Leading brands come together

Renowned international and local brands showcase their strengths

“Every product begins with an understanding of how users live.” Many global industry leaders will unveil their latest smart products at this year's expo, giving visitors a comprehensive exhibition experience. World-class design from renowned companies in New Zealand, China, Europe and the United States will be showcased throughout the event. 

The Innovation Zone also brings together outstanding industry brands to present innovative design ideas to visitors. Lance James, founder of well-known New Zealand building materials supplier Metra Construction Panel System TM, which is exhibiting in this zone, said: 

“This year, the products we are presenting at the expo are new, environmentally conscious building materials. Their biggest strengths are their low carbon footprint, environmental benefits and fast delivery. Builders can complete a 160-square-metre home in just six weeks.” 

The themed zone will also feature globally renowned air-conditioning brand Midea, leading Chinese brand Hikvision and the familiar property research platform Relab. Famous German bathroom brand Bravat will bring its five cutting-edge innovations to the expo. By combining conference activities with exhibitions, this year's event aims to extend its reach and draw widespread public attention to the current state and future direction of green building.

Beyond the themed zone, exhibitors from architectural design, building materials, technology, finance and insurance, property management and many other fields will gather at the expo, bringing together a wealth of industry talent.

A particular highlight is that the expo's diamond sponsor and core partner——PlaceMakers will join numerous quality suppliers in the PlaceMakers Zone to meet visitors. Paintings by Zong Yuan, chair of the board of Auckland International Art Space, will also be exhibited. This collaboration between an industry exhibition and the arts will be another major highlight.
