Retail industry (which accounts for 30% of Dubai’s GDP) is heavily investing in audio-visual solutions to enhance the visitor experience.

Demand for AV Technology in Saudi Arabia is on the rise with the launch of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), which is responsible for the nation’s expanding entertainment sector

Mega Events, like Expo 2020 and FIFA 2022, are turning up the Middle East’s market for audiovisual technology.
