Philips Lighting has already worked successfully with the Center smart Services in 2016/17 when the company provided an exciting use case for the student competition of the Walter Eversheim Foundation. Not only was Philips Lighting impressed with the innovative solutions submitted by the the creative students who participated, but the cooperation with the Center Smart Services was a great experience, too – and a chance to see how we could work together in the future. That is why we are happy to announce that Philips Lighting is joining us and we are looking forward to developing innovations in the field of lighting products and associated data-based services together!
