Only a year ago, Barco introduced ClickShare CSM-1, bringing the power of its award-winning presentation system to standard meeting-room set-ups.

Each year, it receives around 3,000 submissions from more than 1,000 different companies around the world. And this year, Barco's ClickShare CSM-1 was among the well-deserved winners. Industry-wide recognition Jan Willem Brands, VP Collaboration Division at Barco, comments: 'This award acknowledges the effort Barco put in the development of ClickShare. The intuitive product design has played a key role in bringing a whole new dynamic into meeting-room culture around the world.' Toshikazu Murakami, Marketing Manager at Barco Japan, underlines the importance of the G Mark in the Japanese context: 'The Good Design Award was initially installed in the wake of the Pacific War, with the aim to promote products that offer clear added value to everyday life.
