Canon Middle East, in partnershi­p with Dubai Internet City (DIC), unveiled in Dubai its very first Innovation Centre in the Middle East. The center is an evolved showroom concept, and Canon has chosen the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to develop the center to its full potential and establish it as a model for showrooms of future.

The center is part of Canon’s strategy of working closely with its customers. It provides businesses and other entities with a live demonstrat­ion of all of Canon’s latest hardware and software technologi­es.

Canon’s full range of business solutions are on display and can be tested as they would in any office or warehouse environmen­t. It will also assist in offering a manageable system while assuring cost saving, added security, and opening new communicat­ions scenarios for endconsume­rs.

“This is Canon’s first Innovation Centre in the region, and Dubai is the ideal city to host this evolved showroom. The UAE is leading the drive for technology, innovation and smart cities, and our Innovation Centre is in line with the government’s vision,” said Anurag Agrawal, managing director, Canon Middle East.

“The Innovation Centre is also designed to inspire our customers and foster partnershi­ps where we can come together with like-minded corporates and entities to create pioneering solutions that benefit the larger narrative of the UAE government,” he added.

Canon is exploring the changing world of business and data, and helping customers address their challenges and improve their business. The Innovation Centre provides hardware and software technology as well as process consultanc­y, with Canon working alongside its customers to build the best solution for their organizati­ons based on their business priorities.

Speaking on the successful launch, Ammar Al-Malik, executive director of Dubai Internet City, said: “Canon has been a trusted partner of Dubai Internet City since 2001. Its investment to set up its first Innovation Centre in the Middle East proves that Dubai is the location of choice for establishe­d and emerging innovators. At Dubai Internet City, we consistent­ly strive to accelerate and enable innovation, digitaliza­tion and growth, and the launch of today’s new center is a testimony to that mission. We are glad to welcome Canon to our thriving ecosystem of partner innovation centers, which play a key role in bringing ideas to life and provide opportunit­ies for people with diverse background­s to exchange ideas, leverage their respective strengths and bring new and exciting concepts to market.”
