“This investment will create opportunities for Bermudians, support innovation, attract investment, and ensure our island is prepared for the industries and jobs of the future.”

As Bermuda continues to strengthen its position in international business, insurance and reinsurance, fintech, digital assets, and other emerging sectors, world-class digital infrastructure will play an increasingly important role in supporting economic growth and attracting investment. The Government believes projects such as Nuvem and Sol help ensure Bermuda remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global economy.

The Government also emphasised the importance of resilience for island jurisdictions.

“In an increasingly digital world, resilience is no longer optional. Reliable connectivity is critical for business continuity, economic security, disaster preparedness, and maintaining Bermuda’s competitiveness on the global stage.”

The Government welcomed Google’s decision to include Bermuda as part of this major international infrastructure project and expressed appreciation to all partners involved in bringing the initiative to fruition.

“The Atlantic does not isolate Bermuda. It positions Bermuda. Today’s milestone demonstrates the confidence that global leaders continue to have in our island, our people, and our future.”

The Minister of Home Affairs, the Hon. Alexa Lightbourne JP, MP, who has provided updates on the success of the Nuvem and Sol subsea cables, noted, “Reliable connectivity is essential infrastructure, as vital to a modern island economy as our roads and our power. The Nuvem and Sol systems strengthen the digital foundation our businesses, households, and youth depend on, and they bring the opportunities of the global economy closer to home.”

And Kendaree Burgess, Managing Director of the Bermuda Business Development Agency stated, “Major infrastructure investment does not happen by accident. It follows sustained work to engage the market, build confidence, and show global investors that Bermuda has the ambition, credibility and operating environment to support projects of this scale. This milestone reinforces the message we have been taking to international markets: Bermuda is not only strategically located; it is organised, serious and ready to compete for critical digital infrastructure investment.”

Unilumin at WOO 2026 London: Engineering a Smarter, More Sustainable Future for Global DOOH

Published

on

By

LONDON, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From 3-5 June 2026, the World Out of Home Organization (WOO) Annual Congress returned to London for the first time since 1990 – and at record scale, convening more than 800 delegates, business leaders and experts from over 30 countries. As a long-standing supporter, and one of only two Chinese annual sponsors of WOO – the global OOH industry’s only dedicated international body – Unilumin attended and showcased its leading LED display solutions in conversations with media owners, technology partners and operators from around the world.

This year’s Congress centred on the forces reshaping OOH – artificial intelligence, creativity and sustainability – and the move they demand toward smarter, more immersive and lower-carbon solutions, highlighted by the launch of the Ad Net Zero DOOH carbon calculator. This direction is fundamental to Unilumin’s strategy, combining engineering depth with a green, low-carbon philosophy through the full product life cycle.

That commitment is backed by independent recognition. Unilumin is a nationally recognised Green Factory and carbon-neutral demonstration enterprise. In 2023 it became the first LED display manufacturer to earn the TÜV SÜD LED display carbon label, an independent verification of product carbon footprint across the full life cycle. It also holds the Intertek Green Leaf Mark for product carbon footprint.

Engineering rigour underpins the range. Unilumin’s outdoor displays offer modular front-and-rear service access; IP69K ingress protection; and advanced thermal and power management. Every product is tested to relevant fire-safety standards, with flame-retardant construction that reduces fire risk in dense urban settings. Selected models are certified to EMC Class B to limit electromagnetic interference.

Those capabilities are proven in the field – from a 2,800 m² display for the AKH Tower in Saudi Arabia to an anamorphic 3D installation in Warsaw – delivered through a global network spanning more than 160 countries and over 5,600 sales and service points. It is the foundation of Unilumin’s shift from exporting products to exporting brand, service, reliability and genuine partnership.

The future of out-of-home is smarter, greener and more immersive. Unilumin is building it – combining engineering depth, manufacturing scale and a global network to help partners turn city space into media that performs, endures and delivers solid returns.
