“Everything is connectivity,” commented the visitors. In just four days, the attendees were able to achieve 12 months of conferences, elevating the possibilities of networking. 

The exhibition had a rich presence of Chinese companies, including Lenovo, which displayed a brand-new prototype laptop with a transparent display. 

The multinational company, Huawei, announced their achievements and plans to open a sector in France next year. 

An AI dog was petted by visitors, and even King Felipe VI of Spain toured the exhibition stands.

“We are growing in a modern world where culture merges,” said Derrick Ashong, the CEO of TBTM (Take Back the Media).
