Barco gives automotive engineers at VI-grade international user conference a vision to trust

On May 14-15 next, VI-grade will invite executive managers and experienced engineers at automotive and transportation companies, engineering firms, universities and research centers from all over the world to Hanau, Germany for an international conference where Barco is a golden sponsor.
