NtechLab, a specialist in video analytics, has been chosen as the technology partner of the Russian pavilion at Expo 2020, which runs for six months from October 2021 to March 2022 in Dubai, UAE
NtechLab’s platform will allow the Russian pavilion to collect analytics on visitor numbers, including segmentation based on gender and age, as well as calculating the average length of visit time and whether attendees are new or regular visitors.
To ensure effective crowd management and adherence to COVID-19 guidelines, the system will also notify employees when an excessively large number of people gather in one area. It will also provide information about queues in specific areas, such as what time they formed and how many people are in the queue.
Andrei Telenkov, CEO, NtechLab, said, “Expo 2020 is not only the largest international event during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also a symbol that people have not been cowed by the pandemic. As a technology company, it is a great honor for us to contribute to the safety and security of visitors to the Russian pavilion, and to participate in an exhibition in which countries are demonstrating their latest achievements.”
Liana Meliksetyan, chief commercial officer, NtechLab, stated, “Expo 2020 provides a unique opportunity for us and other technology companies from Russia to meet potential customers and partners in the Middle East. We are confident that one of the important outcomes of the participation of Russian companies in the exhibition will be new projects within the UAE and other countries who are ready to embrace innovative technologies.”
Andemir Bizhoev, head of sales Middle East, NtechLab, commented, “Such is the nature of our advanced video analytics platform that when working with face features it is impossible to restore the original image of the face. This ensures compliance with personal data and privacy legislation. The systems can also be configured so data is not stored and only reports are saved.”
On November 23, NtechLab will host the first Russia-UAE video analytics event. The guests from both countries, including government representatives, will discuss the use of face recognition for smart cities and private companies, including banks, shops, and industrial enterprises.

Axis Communications, a specialist in security and surveillance technologies, is preparing for its attendance at Expo 2020, a World Expo hosted by Dubai, the UAE, scheduled to take place from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022
Given the company’s Swedish roots, Axis will be an official partner of the Sweden Pavilion in the event’s Sustainability District.
The theme of the Sweden Pavilion is ‘Co-creation for Innovation’, and as part of this, Axis will present solutions for smart cities, where the combination of technology and data allows authorities to understand and manage key areas of urban life, helping city authorities ensure community safety while also meeting their sustainability goals.
With smarter and safer cities as a goal for many countries in the Middle East, local governments are driving the increased adoption of IP-based security and surveillance solutions. With its extensive portfolio of innovative products and services, and collaboration with key government entities, Axis is playing a crucial role in advancing smart city agendas across the region. The company’s open platform also allows for easy integration between many different technologies and IoT devices on a single platform, which helps mitigate one of the major challenges in smart city projects.
Peter Lindström, executive vice-president sales at Axis, commented, “Given the global pandemic, the postponement of Expo 2020 was absolutely the right decision, but doesn’t lessen our enthusiasm for representing Sweden as a leader in the creation of technology that makes the world a safer and smarter place. We’re particularly pleased to be part of the Expo’s Sustainability District, which continues to be a critical focus for governments and citizens across the planet.”
The Sweden Pavilion is one of the single largest export promotion activities being planned by the Swedish government in the coming years. Besides participating in the exhibition by displaying Axis network solutions for improved security, Axis will also be responsible for video surveillance, access control and intercoms, as part of the broader security infrastructure, for the Sweden Pavilion.
Ettiene Van Der Watt, regional director – Middle East and Africa at Axis, added, “Governments in the Middle East have been proactively driving the technological advancement agenda in order to provide better citizen and resident services and experiences, and the quick recovery of the region from lockdown is testament to this. Technology like ours has played a crucial role in minimising the disruption caused by the pandemic and has helped governments and businesses manage, regulate, assess, and contribute to public safety and ensure business continuity”.
“Expo 2020 – and the focus on sustainability, mobility and opportunity — is a perfect opportunity for the region to showcase several of these innovations. For our part, we are thrilled and honoured to be able to contribute to the event and show the world how Axis is supporting governments in the region and across the world build more sustainable, smarter cities.”
