62% percent of organisations in the Middle East and Africa want to reduce energy costs, according to recent Epson survey results with 58% of respondents looking to invest in sustainable technology.  Epson’s focus for GITEX 2022 will be a range of sustainable, energy-efficient solutions that address the pressing concerns of many of the region’s leading industry sectors identified in this new data.

Epson’s solutions for the healthcare, retail, construction and education industries will take centre stage during GITEX, reflecting the sustainability and energy-efficiency concerns identified in research that included 1,400 respondents from the Middle East and Africa region.  Underscoring Epson’s commitment to sustainability through its Heat-Free technology strategy, visitors to GITEX 2022 can see the Epson Workforce business inkjet printer range in action, highlighting an energy reduction of up to 83% for companies, compared to laser printing options.

“For many years, Epson has played a leading role in enabling both enterprises and consumers to make smart, sustainable technology switches. A range of vibrant industries from healthcare to construction are driving regional economies, and GITEX delivers a platform to showcase how our solutions help enable the success of these vertical sectors,” said Jason McMillan, sales director, Epson Middle East.

Reflecting the region’s passion for sporting events, GITEX visitors can take a swing at tracking their longest drive with a professional golf simulator, using industry-leading Epson projection technology and celebrating the company’s sponsorship of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).  Visitors can then relax over a coffee in the Epson bakery and café, or enjoy the Theatre of Digital Art (ToDA) zone, showcasing immersive solutions that deliver memorable, unique customer experiences.

Healthcare solutions

As it expands, the Middle East’s healthcare industry needs technology that simplifies and streamlines workflows, saving time and resources to invest in patient care. 65% of those working in healthcare in the MEA region claim that poor scanning technology is preventing the move to digitisation, according to the recent survey results. Hospitals can now scan and print quickly with Epson’s WorkForce printers and scanners, and interact effectively with Epson’s ultra-short throw projectors, enabling faster patient care – all on display at GITEX 2022.
