Canon Central & North Africa (CCNA) (www.Canon-CNA.com), a leading provider of imaging solutions, successfully hosted its annual Dealer Conference at Conrad Hotel, Dubai. Themed “ICE: Innovation, Customer, and Experience,” this year’s edition carried special significance as CCNA celebrated its 10-year anniversary. The exclusive event brought together 100 partners from across Africa to explore Canon’s strategic direction, celebrate milestones, and experience immersive solution-driven zones designed to address evolving market needs. Aligned with Canon’s strategy of getting closer to customers and enhancing customer experience, the conference served as a platform to strengthen partnerships and share a forward-looking business vision. Attendees gained insights into market trends, CCNA’s strategic growth plans, and innovations designed to meet Africa’s diverse imaging requirements. To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of Canon’s diverse offerings, this year’s conference introduced strategically curated zones designed to deliver solution-oriented and vertical-focused experiences. Rather than showcasing products in isolation, each zone was thoughtfully crafted to demonstrate how Canon’s technologies integrate into real-world environments, addressing the evolving needs of customers and partners across industries. Business-To-Consumer Zones: Strategic, Solution-Led Experiences To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of Canon’s offerings, this year’s conference introduced strategically curated B2C zones, shifting the focus from product showcases to solution-oriented, vertical-focused experiences. The zones highlighted Canon’s legacy in cameras and printers, geographical growth, and strong positioning across key environments such as media agencies, workspaces, production studios, and educational spaces. Attendees experienced how Canon’s imaging and printing technologies seamlessly integrate into real-world scenarios- from dynamic content creation and professional production setups to hybrid office solutions, education programs, and after-sales support through authorized service centers. A preview of upcoming product campaigns added momentum to Canon’s continued innovation journey. Rashad Ghani, B2C Business Unit Director, said: “Celebrating 10 years of Canon Central & North Africa made this year’s conference truly special. It was a great opportunity to connect with our partners, share our vision, and showcase how Canon’s solutions seamlessly integrate into real-world environments. By shifting from product displays to solution-led experiences, we’re empowering partners to meet evolving customer needs and drive business growth. I also congratulate our award-winning partners for their outstanding contributions to Canon’s success.” Business-To-Business Zones: A Unified Journey – Past, Present & Future The B2B zones followed a unified storytelling journey, strategically illustrating Canon’s evolution from its legacy of workspace and professional solutions, to the launch of the new imageFORCE series that represents the next step in intelligent, platform-driven offerings, and a forward look at upcoming innovations such as new imageFORCE models, varioPRINT, LabelStream, and corrugated solutions. This approach underscored Canon’s commitment to delivering intelligent, scalable solutions that enhance productivity and enable business growth across Africa. Amine Djouahra, B2B Business Unit Director, said: “This conference was a strategic platform to highlight Canon’s unified B2B journey, where legacy meets innovation and future ambitions. Our focus goes beyond products; it’s about enabling businesses with intelligent, scalable solutions that drive efficiency, productivity, and growth. Through this strategy, we continue to strengthen partnerships and position Canon as the trusted technology ally for businesses across Africa. I would also like to commend all our partners who have been recognized for their outstanding achievements- their dedication has been integral to Canon’s success”. The event concluded with a gala dinner and awards ceremony, honoring top-performing partners for their exceptional contributions to Canon’s growth. The celebrations highlighted a decade of collaboration and success.

Financial infrastructure firm, Tala, has launched a tokenized lending platform to cater to borrowers without a banking history in the world. It plans to deploy $50 million credit facility via the platform in USDC to power blockchain-enabled, permission-less lending for millions of global customers. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) underwritten consumer lending tool, in partnership with Huma Finance, is the first of its kind in Kenya and is powered by Solana and supported by USDC liquidity facilitated by the Huma Protocol For billions of consumers who lack access to traditional banking services and credit history systems, tokenized lending offers faster and more reliable access to credit, better rates through a global capital network, and a portable, digital reputation that enables broader participation in the global economy. Tala’s existing customer base of nearly 13 million across multiple emerging markets creates immediate scale for blockchain adoption. "After a decade operating across multiple emerging markets, we know how to translate frontier technologies into real-world financial power," said Shivani Siroya, founder and CEO, Tala. "By pairing Tala’s trusted platform with the power of blockchain technology, together with Huma and Solana, we can expand financial access, eliminate systemic inefficiencies, and help millions become active participants in the global digital economy.” The solution is powered by Tala’s proprietary credit engine, which has been trained on $7 billion in lending performance data across multiple continents. That dataset—largely invisible to banks and most AI systems—gives Tala the ability to evaluate borrowers who have historically been overlooked by the global financial system. By tokenizing these loans in an overcollateralized lending facility and connecting them to Huma’s liquidity pools, Tala unlocks a new funding mechanism for emerging market credit, bringing global capital directly to high-demand markets transparently and efficiently. Speaking during the launch, Erbil Karaman, Co-Founder of Huma Finance, said that Tala’s team has over a decade of experience in scaling high-performance lending programmes while providing financial access to tens of millions of people who need it the most.

Kenya’s cloud and artificial intelligence boom may be entering its most consequential phase yet, as new data suggests local consultancies, AI startups and systems integrators stand to earn dramatically more from Amazon Web Services (AWS) than previously understood. A study by US-based research firm Omdia reveals that AWS partners worldwide can now generate “up to a $7.13 (Sh900) multiplier for every $1 (Sh130) of AWS sold,” a figure with enormous implications for East Africa’s technology ecosystem. The report, titled "Partner Ecosystem Multiplier: The AWS Opportunity 2025," was released on the sidelines of the AWS: Re-Invent event in Las Vegas, Nevada, which kicked off on December 1 and ends on December 5. It reached this conclusion after Omdia conducted in-depth interviews with 35 AWS partners across various geographies and partner types. The report’s central argument is blunt: in a region where businesses are hungry for automation, resilient infrastructure, and AI-powered customer engagement, the biggest revenue doesn’t come from selling cloud technology itself. Instead, it comes from the advisory, design, build, adoption, and managed services wrapped around it, the same areas where Kenyan firms have sought to differentiate themselves. “In the new era of AI, Omdia has forecasted a services opportunity tied to generative and agentic AI of $267 billion by 2030,” the research notes, positioning partners as the engines of this expansion. With Kenya’s financial institutions, telcos, and public agencies accelerating cloud migrations, the findings sharpen the conversation about who will capture the next decade of revenue. Kenyan companies already recognize the shift. For years, Kenya’s cloud market has revolved around foundational migrations: moving banks off aging data centres, helping enterprises modernize digital infrastructure, or building customer-facing platforms with elasticity and scale. But companies across Nairobi’s tech districts, from Westlands to Upper Hill to Ngong Road, are now repositioning their services for an AI-first world. The Omdia numbers help make the business case. The report states bluntly that 82 per cent of AWS partners are now delivering some form of AI as part of their transformation delivery, a seismic shift that mirrors Kenya’s adoption pattern: AI chatbots in banking, machine learning in fraud detection, recommender engines in e-commerce, and predictive analytics in agriculture and logistics. “Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to be the market-leading provider of public cloud infrastructure in terms of market share. For customers to unlock the full opportunities of AI in their public cloud environments, they lean on a wide variety of services and expertise from their technology providers, specifically the partners within the AWS Partner Network.”
