Our industry is an extremely fast-moving market, technology gets old within a few years and you have to constantly invest in the newest technology and equipment if you want to be ahead of the game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to meet anticipated demand from Dubai\u2019s vibrant event scene and the high potential of Saudi Arabia\u2019s burgeoning entertainment landscape, Even2 has invested in expansion within KSA, upscaling its equipment stock and warehousing.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Taiwan\u2019s KUPO Company says despite demand for hi-technology solutions, providers will also have to live up to the need for \u2018green\u2019 operations.
