More than 10,000 people, according to data provided by the Local Police of Puente Genil, gathered last night to witness the show composed of 300 drones in a unique event that represents a milestone in Andalusia to celebrate the alliance between Ximenez Group and UMILES, leading companies in the event lighting sector.
The drone show illuminated the sky of this Cordoban town with dazzling figures and colors, showcasing a perfect combination of art and technology that highlighted the creativity and commitment to sustainability of both companies. This event not only marked the official launch of this strategic alliance between Ximenez Group and UMILES but also their commitment to innovation in events and celebrations, combining two leading companies in their sector to offer comprehensive and experiential solutions with lighting and drone technology.
This spectacular show of 300 drones, specifically designed to celebrate the launch of the Ximenez Group and UMILES alliance, captured everyone’s attention with its futuristic style inspired by Vaporwave. Ten impressive figures were displayed in the sky, reflecting the synergy and range of shared services between the two companies. Among the aerial creations, a virtual face symbolizing innovation, an electric butterfly evoking transformation, a raw diamond representing potential, and a giant Rubik’s cube illustrating the solidity of this union stood out. Additionally, figures like a mandala and a three-dimensional elephant added a unique touch to the show, among many others. The event was a success, accompanied by light effects and a musical selection in line with the show, marking a milestone in Andalusia.
The event was attended by the Minister of University, Research, and Innovation, José Carlos Gómez Villamandos, who highlighted that Ximenez Group constitutes “an example of business growth and competitiveness through innovation”, which is an essential pillar for the productive fabric due to “its ability to generate new products and services that respond to the challenges we face as a society.” Additionally, the Minister of Innovation of the Andalusian Government emphasized the trajectory of UMILES. For Gómez Villamandos, the alliance of both companies will “combine artistic lighting creativity and the most advanced drone technology to deploy a visual spectacle that will provide a unique experience”.

For his part, the mayor of Puente Genil, Sergio Velasco, congratulated Ximenez Group for making an innovative, powerful, and unique bet that will strengthen the projection of the Pontan company around the world. “The alliance of two leading companies in their respective sectors, in lighting and entertainment, becomes a great opportunity to continue generating enthusiasm, pride, and excitement among those who witness these shows wherever they go”. In this sense, he also highlighted the fact that Puente Genil was chosen as the city for the celebration of this “drone light show”.
