Highlights of the report include : Business development In general , LED iBond's sales pipeline is solid and grows at a steady pace . Vertical farming : The vertical farming market , in particular , is showing continued strong growth . LED iBond has received a substantial number of requests for proposals for lighting solutions for indoor farming projects . The company has agreed to deliver a small - scale vertical farming test facility in Q3 to demonstrate the superiority of LED iBond's vertical farming solution . Pending offers for vertical farming equipment amounts to tens of millions of DKK .

LED iBond foresees that these market challenges will persist for the remainder of 2021 and may extend into 2022 . Smart buildings : Supply chain bottlenecks and general uncertainties are causing delays in many smart building segments . For instance , an extensive elevator renovation project in Singapore has been paused since April 2020 , awaiting the reopening of non - critical projects by the Singapore government . A notable exception is the gas station segment , where several lighting renovation projects have recently been resumed . Also , the EUDP development project for intelligent infrastructure solutions is progressing as planned .
