‘’Since Egypt is the main center for Signify’s business in the Northeast Africa region, Signify’s strategy relies on constant cooperation with the government and the private sector. We target to strengthen our presence in the Egyptian market by increasing our market share in roads and streets lighting projects, make extra efforts to develop UV-C lighting devices and solutions, launching more recyclable 3D printed luminaires, and widen our network of certified distributers, developers, and retailers.’’ Mosaad said.
