LightingEurope Defines Growth Drivers for the European Lighting Market and will Increase the Value of Light to Society

“LightingEurope will create an understanding of the added value of these growth engines for society, policy makers and all relevant stakeholders in the lighting and adjacent industries “, said Denneman. Furthermore André ten Bloemendal added “LightingEurope will determine the conditions under which these growth drivers will enhance the growth of the European industry. Examples are stimulation packages and the initiation of voluntary standards”.

LightingEurope has the ambition to create a regulatory framework that improves the quality of lighting and thereby the quality of life. This framework will foster freedom of innovation and deliver a broad range of opportunities for the lighting industry.
