Having reached its ninth edition, the event offers an exceptional opportunity to showcase innovation and trends pertaining to the sectors of lighting, lighting technology and automation systems for homes and buildings.
The main themes of the 2016 edition will be the fundamental role played by digital technology in designing modern living spaces and smart technologies, an essential element of today’s smart building projects.
