Fujio Mitarai, Chairman and CEO of Canon, headlined EXPO 2015 in Paris today with his keynote speech. He outlined Canons strategy in a connected world and highlighted his vision for a future Canon to a packed audience gathered in Paris to have a glimpse of the latest technological offerings from Canon.
I am delighted to welcome our valued partners and customers to Paris today and to explain my vision for a future Canon, where both regional independence and international collaboration is put into practice, said Mitarai.
He added that Europe is the largest market for Canon.
Over the next five years, I dream to have the Canon Management System, where each local market will have its own R&D. In the new network of companies, each regional headquarters will manage local R&D and manufacturing, as well as service and support customised to its market.
IoT is opening up new worlds of online image sharing and will support communications from system to system said Mitarai.
Rokus van Iperen, President and CEO, Canon Europe, Middle East and Africa, also addressed the crowd. He said: We are excited about the huge opportunities the shifting landscape presents and believe that in the future every image should have a connection with Canon. Whether it is taking the image, recording, storing, editing or printing it we want to play a part and are building businesses to do this.
He said that Canon is geared up to make life changing imaging technologies.
One trillion images will be taken this year – and five trillion stored. We need solutions to store and manage our memories. Our Irista cloud photo storage. Photo cloud services will be used more by families, he added.
