Photoluminescent paint conquers the Middle East

The Big 5 Global is one of the world's leading construction, architecture and urban development exhibitions. Every year, it brings together thousands of exhibitors and visitors from all over the world to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, to discover the innovations that are shaping the infrastructures of tomorrow.

In 2025, OliKrom will be taking part in this major event, from 24 to 27 November, to present its smart color-change paint and material solutions, including LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint, which has already been deployed on numerous sites throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

This presence marks a new stage in the company's international development, as it seeks to raise its profile in the Middle East, a fast-growing region where the challenges of safety, sustainability and intelligent design are at the heart of urban projects.

The main global event for the construction industry

The Big 5 Global in Dubai, UAE, is the largest construction trade show in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. Founded in 1979, it has established itself as a key global platform for manufacturers, engineers, architects, developers and public decision-makers. Each year, the event brings together more than 2,000 exhibitors from over 60 countries and attracts tens of thousands of international visitors.

The Big 5 stands out for its multi-sector approach, covering the entire building value chain: materials, technologies, equipment, sustainability, design and innovation. In addition to its vast exhibition space, the show offers themed conferences, workshops and technical demonstrations, encouraging business exchanges and technology watch. A veritable crossroads of opportunities, Big 5 Dubai reflects the global dynamics of the construction market and the ambitions of tomorrow's sustainable cities.

Patented French technology for safe, sustainable mobility

Developed and manufactured in France by OliKrom, LuminoKrom® is an innovative paint that glows at night without electricity, simply by being exposed to natural or artificial light.
Already installed and tested at more than 450 sites in France and around the world, our technology helps to make night-time mobility safer - cycle paths, green lanes, pedestrian walkways - while reducing energy consumption linked to public lighting.

Thanks to its durability, visibility of up to 10 hours in the dark and resistance to outdoor conditions, LuminoKrom® is winning over more and more local authorities and civil engineering contractors looking for practical solutions that combine safety and energy efficiency.

Strong potential for infrastructure and urban development in the Middle East

Against a backdrop of rapid urban growth and a demanding climate, cities in the Middle East are looking for innovative solutions to improve user safety and comfort, while incorporating a sustainable and aesthetic approach. LuminoKrom® fits perfectly into this dynamic because it :

  • improves night-time visibility of pedestrian and cycle routes,
  •  reinforces road markings in poorly lit areas,
  • and reduces energy dependence on street lighting.

By offering a solution that is as simple as it is effective, OliKrom is proposing a ground-breaking innovation tailored to the current infrastructure challenges in the Middle East: smart, safe and more sustainable cities.

When color becomes a tool for innovation in construction and decoration

Architects, interior designers and builders attending the Big 5 can discover how intelligent color opens up new creative possibilities.

OliKrom inks and paints can change appearance depending on the environment, reveal patterns, react to light or heat, or act as a visual safety indicator. They combine aesthetics and functionality, while contributing to sustainable and differentiating design approaches.

Whether it's creating a living facade that changes color in the sunlight, designing an evolving wall covering or integrating intelligent safety markings, OliKrom solutions offer construction and decoration professionals an infinite range of visual innovations.

Join us in Dubai from 24 to 27 November to imagine the color of tomorrow

The Big 5 Dubai 2025 will be an opportunity for OliKrom to present its vision of useful, dynamic and sustainable color.

Through LuminoKrom® and its comprehensive range of intelligent materials, the company aims to demonstrate that color can be much more than an aesthetic asset: it can become a vector for safety, energy savings and innovation.

OliKrom's teams will be on hand to talk to visitors, partners and distributors, and work together to imagine the lighting projects of tomorrow.
