AMX COMMANDS THE PERFECT MEETING AT THE STATE CHANCELLERY
The Enova DVX has provided a cost effective room solution that has eased the Chancellery’s transition from analogue to digital
Located in the governmental quarter of the state capital, Düsseldorf, the Stadttor or city gate skyscraper is the home of the State Chancellery; the official office of the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia. With its double-skin glass façade, the building may be traditional by design but it boasts 20th century performance capabilities. Its energy-efficiency systems are some of the most technologically-advanced in the world and now, this imposing tower can also add AMX to its high-tech credentials thanks to a comprehensive technological upgrade of conference rooms in the ministerial office which has seen innovative Enova technology taking command of the perfect governmental meeting.
