At EXPO 2015, Canon is showing how the world of imaging is expanding rapidly in the age of the Internet of Things. In the future nearly everything will be connected through smart devices. These rely on built-in cameras or sensors and the data they generate. As a result, Canon predicts that the Internet of Things will largely depend on the 'Imaging of Things.'
To deliver new possibilities in the world of imaging, Canon is building a 'Network of Canon Companies' - an ecosystem designed to harness innovation and creative talents from across the regions.
Fujio Mitarai , Chairman and CEO, Canon Inc., ahead of his keynote speech at Canon EXPO Paris 2015, commented: "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."
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. Europe will focus on printing and network video surveillance (NVS) and Canon has already brought on board strong leaders in these business areas such as Océ, Axis and Milestone Systems. As a result, in addition to its global reputation for cameras, Canon is now the largest printing and network surveillance system company in the world.
Rokus van Iperen , President and CEO, Canon Europe, Middle East and Africa , added: "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."
While capitalising on strong positions in its core markets, examples of how Canon is driving future business growth in EMEA include:
Canon also has many advanced imaging technology concepts for the future on display in Paris including:
