The company remains focused on leveraging its knowledge, partnerships and position in the marketplace to expedite the market adoption of the technology and to grow the Li-Fi industry. Creating an ecosystem of effective partners is critical to foster growth in the emerging Li-Fi market.
pureLiFi’s partner, the University of Edinburgh recently launched the Li-Fi R&D centre which aims to further enhance and encourage research and development in Li-Fi, pooling expertise from fields that are essential for the creation of a Li-Fi industry. pureLiFi is positioned to cooperate and lead the commercialization of these research efforts. An ecosystem of diverse partners is rapidly expanding and pureLiFi products are set to penetrate a number of market verticals during 2014.
Professor Harald Haas, who is behind the Li-Fi R&D centre, the Chief Science Officer and co-founder of pureLiFi, said:
“pureLiFi’s core strengths and assets are its knowledge and experience in the technology, along with the skills to design and build Li-Fi products, all supported by an expanding IP portfolio. 2014 will see even greater leaps forward in Li-Fi research and the Li-Fi industry. We are well positioned to achieve significant growth as the market expands worldwide.”
