As you read this DVNewsletter, I am with some of you at our lighting DVN Workshop in Shanghai. It is the biggest event we have ever done! On Friday, 280 people were registered. More than 48 vehicle makers; 22 tier-1 set makers and 70 tier-2 suppliers…LED makers…test houses…universities and research outfits…regulatory authorities. We estimate a final number around 400 peoples. Geoffrey is pushing tables and looking for additional seats!
While I am writing this, Christophe is doing event registration; Carine is promoting our DVN Study about ADB, and Ann is finalizing the Chinese translation and the printing of it to be ready on time.
The DVN team is a great one, working well together.
We’re proud to announce DVN’s acquisition of a majority stake in the capital of LMI; read all about it in this week’s news. LMI is a unique market intelligence solution for the vehicle lighting industry, and they’ve joined forces with A2MAC1—the undisputed global leader in automotive benchmarking—to provide clients with deep, comprehensive insights on lighting technology options and applications.
Their combined mighty expertise gives rise to a new service, Advanced Exterior Lighting Insights, further extending their exterior lighting benchmarking activities and consolidating A2MAC1 performance, technology, and costing insights.
Starting now, DVN (and I) are running the LMI activity. I am pleased to be presenting the lighting benchmark activity in Shanghai tomorrow, 8th November, during the keynote presentation. We have an expo booth, as well, to show what we are doing. On site? Drop by and see! In any event, do not hesitate to contact us; there is a huge potential for you and us, together.
Monthly report is also ready for lecture. Thank you Michael Hamm for the ams OSRAM Company profile.
And finally: the 2023 DVN Study is now available for purchase! As we’ve been describing to you over the past weeks and months, an enormous amount of thought and effort has gone into creating this high-content look at ADB technology, technique, and market potential. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have; we are always listening to you.
