Canon Central and North Africa (CCNA) has introduced the “Beyond Limits” business-to-business (B2B) PRO Live Webinar Series, an initiative aimed at supporting print and packaging businesses across Africa.
Launched in March 2026, the series connects print companies across the continent through live, interactive sessions that provide access to Canon’s technical expertise, production technologies and solutions.
The launch responds to rising demand in Africa’s printing and packaging sectors for short-run packaging, on-demand publishing, and higher-value print applications. Print businesses are facing client expectations for faster turnaround, greater customisation, and more flexibility, alongside increasing competition.
Tushar Vashnavi, B2B Business Unit Director at Canon Central and North Africa, said:
“The print and packaging industry is evolving significantly. Businesses need practical ways to stay competitive and unlock new opportunities. At Canon, we are committed to being a long-term partner to the sector. With initiatives like the ‘Beyond Limits’ B2B PRO Live Webinar Series, we are providing professionals direct access to innovation and real-world expertise.”
