The MEA division of global technology company Barco has announced the expansion of its Demo and Training Centre based in Dubai Media Citys Concorde Tower.
The new Barco Experience centre was officially inaugured today by Her Excellency Dominique Mineur, Belgian Ambassador to the UAE, in the presence of Eric Brouwers, Vice President MEA, Barco.
The move follows a 10% growth in the region over the last six years, which, the company claims, accounts for almost 5% of the firms total revenue. The centre will serve as the business hub for Barcos MEA operations, connecting partners, resellers and end-users to deliver visualisation solutions. It will also see Barco recruiting several staff across IT and services, engineering, marketing and administration in the next few years.
Since setting up in 2001, Barcos MEA offices have collaborated with more than thirty local partners including InterTech Vision ME, Salam Technology, Venuetech and Samir Trading and Marketing Group. Together they have worked on AV projects such as the largest display wall in the hydrocarbon and power industry, consisting of 150 separate screens and located in Saudi ARAMCOs OSPAC department, to the high-tech control room at the Dubai Civil Defence headquarters.
The expansion of its Experience and Training Center will, as per a company spokesperson, enable Barco to accelerate business processes, offer Barco University certified training courses and host networking events. Spread over 6,500 square feet, the new building will become home to several of the companys products including its ClickShare and WePresent portfolios, healthcare diagnostic and surgical displays, a state-of-the-art cinema room equipped with laser cinema projectors and events and entertainment projectors, and a designated demo area for control rooms and operating experiences as well as an LED wall.
On the centre Eric Brouwers said: Our Experience and Training Centre is a critical part of the Barco MEA infrastructure which plays a key role in our ability to deliver world-class solutions to customers, distributors and resellers throughout the region that deliver real impact.
Barco is exhibiting its ClickShare and Overture solutions at GITEX Technology Week 2017 (Zabeel Hall booth Z-H12).
