A Look Inside Lumine

2025: Our Year in Review

INTRODUCTION

Connecting Everything. Brighter Futures.

In 2025, connection fueled Lumine Group’s progress. We were inspired by the ways our companies show up every day — enabling the moments that connect people and ideas around the world. That perspective guided our focus on growing our ecosystem, investing in our people, and supporting our companies as long-term partners. In 2026, we aim to build on this momentum by continuing to support the teams that power smarter, more connected experiences for businesses and their customers.
