Networking is priceless.

HANNOVER MESSE is always at cutting edge of the industry technology. Energy efficiency, real-time data, AI.. are just some topics of the exhibition this year. For Siccet, it has been important to make the point on industry trends and on how we can convert them into #specialcables solutions. Interesting contacts and meetings to follow up! To be innovative (so supportive) for the industry is, to me, crucial in the #wireandcable segment too. Who may share a thought on this?
