🇩🇪 Day 2 at #SightCity, booth 1O07. So happy we came.

The best part is seeing blind people try the Glasses and watching their reactions up close.

On top of that, we’ve had some really valuable conversations with associations from across the DACH region

🇩🇪 Germany, your turn to experience the @dotlumen Glasses.

From 27–29 May, we’ll be at SightCity in Frankfurt, Booth 1007.

Few places in Europe where the future of assistive technology is discussed as directly, practically, and meaningfully as at SightCity.

Over five weeks, the .lumen Roadshow travelled across 27 Romanian cities and hosted 400+ live demonstrations.

Here’s what we learned from real people testing the technology: https://t.co/Q6CMMHA28x

91% of blind participants would recommend the .lumen Glasses.

We recently completed a pre-clinical investigation as part of our medical device certification process.

The results:
→ 82% said they would use the Glasses daily
→ Usability score: 82 (industry average: 68)

🇷🇴 Romania wins @CES Las Vegas Accessibility Award for the first time ever.

This goes to the entire team and to the blind community who tested, challenged, criticised, and helped us build something better at every step.

Proud to represent Romania 🇷🇴 and Europe 🇪🇺

🇷🇴 We’re back at our favorite place to learn: CES Las Vegas.

Two years ago, CES taught us how to dream bigger.
Today, we have a double booth, and we’re honoured to be named an Innovation Award Honoree.

@EITUrbanMob, an independent body of the EU, invests in @dotlumen.

.lumen becomes the first Romanian company ever backed by EIT Urban Mobility, Europe’s largest EU Innovation Community for Urban Mobility.

Together, we’ll scale Pedestrian Autonomous Driving across Europe.

If we want to change how people see disability, we should start early.

Twenty sixth-graders walked into our Cluj office recently. They tried navigating blindfolded with the white cane. They tested the .lumen glasses. They asked questions we'd never heard before.

🇷🇴 Romania just won its first-ever CES Innovation Award.

CES Las Vegas is the biggest tech show in the world.

Two years ago, we went to CES for the first time. It changed .lumen forever, and how we think about technology, courage, and global impact.

[dotLumen @dotLumen]

His Excellency, RO Ambassador to the UAE, tested the .lumen Glasses for the Blind.

The UAE is a place where .lumen can truly make an impact. In 2020, the country had an estimated 600,000 people with vision loss, including around 27,000 blind individuals.

🏆 .lumen wins a new grant to build the next generation of Glasses for the blind.

The VR Health Champions program connects Europe’s most promising health and deep-tech startups with international expertise, testing opportunities, and market access.

[dotLumen @dotLumen]

dotLumen wins an €11M grant to reuse its tech on humanoid robots.

You’ll order a pizza, and a .lumen-powered robot will deliver it.

.lumen will take the AI that guides the blind and make humanoid and quadruped robots deliver goods and food autonomously in cities.

@EITeu @EITHealth Seeing @dotLumen named in the State of the Union by @ursulavonderleyen is surreal.

[European Institute of Innovation & Technology @EITeu]

At #SOTEU2025, President von der Leyen showcased @dotLumen –a Romanian deep-tech startup empowering visually impaired people with AI-powered glasses.

Proud that the #EITCommunity, through @EITHealth, supported .lumen from the very start. Congratulations!

Seeing .lumen named in the State of the Union by @ursulavonderleyen is surreal.

To be held up as an example of what European innovation can look like means a lot to us.

If you believe startups should solve real problems, we’re with you.

We love seeing young talent soar at .lumen. ​

Earlier this summer, we opened one internship position. ​

Out of 1,000 candidates, we picked Vlad Marian, a brilliant Gen-Z .​

Now he's in Australia, piloting a solar vehicle.

P.S. We're recruiting more interns.

[dotLumen @dotLumen]

Looking back on thousands of tests, there were lots of smiles and looots of fails. ​

We’ve done around 100,000 experiments. Probably around 97,000 failed. ​

That’s 97,000 ways we learned what not to do.​

Innovation happens through perseverance.
