2024 was challenging for Barco. Despite several headwinds in our markets, we achieved key milestones in executing our strategy. The opening of the Wuxi plant in China was a significant step in our focused factories strategy. It will soon be followed by further automation of our European plants. 
In addition, we launched many new products, several of which support our growth ambitions in mid-market segments. To strengthen our growing focus on software, we optimized our organization with separate software and hardware development. We remain committed to relentless innovation and to setting new standards with visual experiences and cutting-edge technology.

As planned from the beginning, I stepped down as Barco’s co-CEO in September last year, following a  period of significant transformation. I reflect with gratitude on my time working alongside An Steegen and the entire Barco team. My dedication to Barco continues now in a different role, as chairman of the board, where I will keep focusing on value creation for the company.   

In 2025, we look forward to further innovate in our key markets. Building on our recent product  introductions, with more to come in the new year, we are committed to expanding our strengths in existing markets and exploring new ones, setting the stage for future growth in the years to come.
