International Expo Consultants (IEC) recently announced that
the SGI Dubai 2017 trade show represents a major opportunity for African
printing industry stakeholders.
“There is a huge potential in
Africa’s printing industry as stakeholders are looking to
gradually phase out old equipment to bring in new technology,” Sharif Rahman, CEO of IEC, said.
African visitors can reach out to exhibitors at Sign and Graphic Imaging Dubai (SGI Dubai). Among these
exhibitors are architects, sign makers, print and production manufacturers,
media agencies, real estate developers, and brand and image consultants.
“We are eagerly waiting to welcome
the trade visitors from Africa to our show as we have a huge turnaround from
the Africa region each year,” Abdul Rahman
Falaknaz, chairman of IEC, said. “Thousands of visitors from across
78 countries had turned up for the previous edition and the numbers are
expected to spiral in 2017 as well. The African economy is poised to hit a new
high and set to grow to the next level. As per our research, there is a
tremendous demand for state-of-the-art printing equipment in the growing
African markets. A focused approach from the African print industry can
consolidate the sector further and take it to greater heights.”
SGI Dubai 2017 will be held January 15-17 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
