April 13th -15th, the 38th International Seating Symposium (ISS) has been held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As an explorer of innovation and lightweight assistive mobility solutions, Licht has been invited to attend.
The ISS in Pittsburgh, organized by the Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology at the University of Pittsburgh, is a prominent global event in the field of medical rehabilitation technology and assistive technologies. It brings together influential participants, including leading companies, institutions, scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals, to showcase the latest scientific research findings and cutting-edge applications.
Technology, communication, and collaboration
Focusing on technology, communication, and collaboration, this symposium provides an opportunity for us to stay abreast of industry trends, discuss various products and business models, and explore new possibilities for Licht in the context of global development. “Innovation” has always been a core concept in Licht’s development journey. We firmly believe that any company capable of maintaining vitality in a competitive market must embrace innovation, and technology serves as a tangible outcome of this innovative spirit. Guided by this philosophy, engaging in communication and sharing with the outside world becomes an essential path for Licht’s development.
At the International Seating Symposium, Licht showcased a range of fully functional seating systems and assistive mobility accessories, including the magnesium alloy manual wheelchair, titanium rigid wheelchair, and magnesium lift. Among them, our groundbreaking magnesium alloy monolithic casting technology garnered significant attention as it revolutionized the traditional assembly process by redesigning multiple independent components into a single cast, maintaining the original functionality.
We actively engaged with other teams to exchange knowledge and ideas, aiming to broaden our research perspectives. This collaborative approach allows us to learn from peers and continuously improve our products and solutions for the benefit of individuals requiring rehabilitation and assistive technologies.
Seeking Opportunities Through Learning
