GESS Exhibitors hail the event as key platform for education suppliers

“GESS Dubai is the only platform for educational business in the Middle East and it’s becoming even more important.” – Laurenz Wohlfarth, Sales Director, FisherTechnik

These sentiments were roundly echoed by other returning exhibitors who have been attending GESS Dubai for eight years or more.

Mr, Wohlfarth continues, “It’s a good showcase for our products and to meet current and potential distributors.”

FisherTechnik are manufacturers of STEM products with their major line being Robotic Kids. They cater to K-12 and the higher education market.

“It’s a unique platform for communicating with the people of the region. It is also perfect for maintaining business relationships,” adds Sven Urban of Elabo TrainingsSystem. This is their 8th year exhibiting at GESS, where they showcase technical equipment for vocational schools and higher education in electrical electronics and mechatronics.

Senior Key Account Manager, B. Vengattaramanan of Almoe Digital Solutions notes that the network that they gain from participating in the event has been of great value to their company. With over 22 years in business, engaging in the education industry, health care, government and corporate enterprises, GESS allows them to maintain key business contacts and to connect with potential business partners.

Steen V. Lund, Head of Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa and South East Asia for Lego Education applauds the event for its incredible progress over the last 9 years.

“GESS evolved into the most important trade show in the Middle East for us. Watching the progress of the show since they started out in the small exhibition hall at the airport into this huge shown, I must say that they have done an incredible job.”

Lego Education has been at the forefront in focusing on STEM. According to Mr. Lund, Lego Education is the first company to actually include Arabic in their programming language.

“One of the things that makes the event stand out to me is that you are closer to key influencers and decision makers unlike other education shows. It is important that you feel that you are getting value for money and GESS does that,” adds Mr. Lund.
