The company is also preparing to launch AI-driven screening centers (NURA) in the region, reflecting its commitment to early detection and better health outcomes. Over the past five years, FUJIFILM has more than doubled its number of staff across its offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa. The establishment of its new offices in the UAE is part of the company's future-facing mindset, as well as efforts to increase proximity to end-consumers and key partners. The company also recorded impressive annual performance in 2024 and is looking to repeat the feat this year with an expected double-digit growth. H.E.
