Anne-Manuèle Hebert, show director of JEC World and European Shows said, “Each year, new products and services are offered to exhibitors and visitors. For instance, in 2017, the Startup Booster competition, the new planets, the electronic devices, and the giant LED screen on the VIP Club, are some of our novelties and improvements that refined customer experience.” (GK)
