The Canon ‘Frontiers of Innovation Forum 2020’ is uniting industry and sector experts under one online platform to foster industry learning during the COVID-19 crisis. Since it was launched in 2016, the forum aims to provide a platform for driving innovation and ideas, gain insights and experiences and generate solutions.
Frontiers of Innovation 2020 takes the format of an online weekly broadcast series, discussing key evolving trends and the impact of the pandemic on individuals and economies. The online series will also explore how different sectors are preparing themselves for the post-Covid-19 phase.
The weekly Forum will continue to outline innovative technologies and operational efficiencies as in previous editions – albeit via a new virtual platform, on Canon Middle East’s LinkedIn page and analyze how different sectors are preparing themselves for the post-Covid-19 phase.
With industries entering the second phase and opening up more to business, the Forum complements GCC governments’ strategies to develop cultures of innovation, and Canon is actively supporting public and private sectors as they strive to find innovative solutions to the challenges of modern living post-crisis.
The first discussion – ‘The Effect of Covid-19 on Digital Transformation’ – streamed live last week included Muhammad Chbib, CEO, Tradeling; Edwardo Aspillaga, Digital Transformation Strategy Lead, IBM and Hesham Safwat, CEO, Jumia Egypt.
The next discussions include ‘Cyber Security at Home’ and ‘Education’ and will be held on Wednesday, June 17th and June 24th.
