Signify and Bose Professional have signed a memorandum of understanding in Singapore to explore integrated lighting and audio solutions across Southeast Asia, initially targeting venues, hospitality, retail and workplaces.

The companies will combine connected lighting systems and professional audio products in joint offerings for customers seeking more integrated environments. Their work will include reference architectures, demonstrations and pilot projects developed with system integrators, consultants and channel partners.

A joint 180-day action plan will guide the first phase of the partnership, covering priority markets, lighthouse projects and live demonstrations across Southeast Asia.

The early focus will be on stadiums, arenas and entertainment venues, as well as hotels, retail settings, experience centres and workplaces. The partners aim to address spaces where lighting and sound are often planned separately, despite being used together in customer-facing environments.

Signify will bring its professional and connected lighting portfolio to the partnership, including Interact, Dynalite and Colour Kinetics. Bose Professional will contribute loudspeakers, amplifiers and its ControlSpace audio ecosystem.

The move comes as businesses across Asia Pacific continue to invest in digital and building infrastructure. The companies cited IDC forecasts showing ICT spending in the region reaching USD $647 billion in 2026 as organisations upgrade systems for more connected operations.

For Signify, the agreement supports its effort to deepen its presence in professional lighting applications across Southeast Asia and the Far East. It said it has an installed base of 171 million connected light points worldwide.

Bose Professional brings an established position in commercial audio, with more than 50 years in the sector and an existing regional footprint.
