GEC NEWS WIREGathering of region’s top industry professionals focuses on learning, connecting and exploring with Autodesk design solutions
Canon Middle East has signed on as the Gold Sponsor for the second edition of ‘Autodesk University (AU) Extension Dubai 2013,’ the design industry’s fastest growing developer conference, which will take place on December 17, 2013 at the Sheikh Maktoum Hall of the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). Hosted by Omnix International, the authorized distributor for Autodesk products in the Middle East, the dynamic one-day event is expected to bring together top design professionals using CAD solutions in engineering, construction, architecture, animation, manufacturing and infrastructure industries in the Middle East.
During the event, Canon will be throwing the spotlight on its latest range of state-of-the-art wide format printing solutions, particularly its newly patented ‘Oce PlotWave 360 Hybrid.’ Canon is looking to target the region’s Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) segments, as well as the Oil & Gas, Manufacturers, Education Sector, Government and Utilities sectors, by leveraging its wide-format products as solutions that can help grow businesses, increase productivity and eventually drive in a reduction in costs.
“We are seeing signs of rapid growth in the Middle East and African (MEA) regions, specifically across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other emerging economies. This growth is demonstrated in the increasing number of construction projects and the vibrancy of the manufacturing markets, which is expected to be boosted further with the UAE’s recent win to host Expo 2020. Taking part in this year’s edition of ‘Autodesk University (AU) Extension Dubai 2013’ will allow us to promote our growing range of wide format printing solutions and talk about the key benefits and advantages of utilizing these products like growing your business, increasing productivity and efficiencies and lessen your operational costs,” concluded Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East.
