Amina Technologies Ltd is a developer and manufacturer of completely invisible loudspeaker panels that are build into walls, ceilings and furnishings in both residential and commercial designs. With the help of BEDG we have made many new contacts with US designers and architects at the New York ICFF show 2010, which we would never have been able to do on our own. We further got a lot of attention from design competitions and Green Designers. BEDG has afforded Amina a huge window into the world.
