Leveraging 25+ years of regional expertise, leading technology distributor Mitsumi Distribution, in strategic collaboration with Samsung Gulf Electronics, co-hosted the high-profile event “Transforming Education: AI, Digital Innovation & Smart Classrooms.” This gathering convened key decision-makers and senior leaders from the UAE’s education sector to explore how Samsung technologies with AI-powered devices, collaborative classroom solutions, and connected campus infrastructure powered by Samsung Knox MDM are shaping the future of learning.

Through live demonstrations and collaborative discussions, Samsung underscored its commitment to advancing learning through technology while highlighting the strength of its partnership with Mitsumi. The event not only showcased cutting-edge educational technology solutions but also laid a strong foundation for future collaborations aimed at modernizing education in the region.

Strategic Partnership and Vision
Mitsumi Distribution, Samsung’s authorized B2B partner in the region, opened the event by underscoring its 25-year legacy in technology distribution across the Middle East and Africa. Manoj Changarampatt, Business Unit Head at Mitsumi, emphasized: “Our mission is to bridge Samsung’s transformative technologies with schools ready to future-proof education. By providing localized technology support, we empower institutions to overcome infrastructure challenges and unlock student potential.”

Collaborative Discussions and Smart Interactive Classroom Insights
Attendees experienced firsthand demonstrations of Samsung’s smart classroom technologies in the education ecosystem, which transformed abstract ideas into tangible experiences. Samsung’s commitment to powering the modern classroom extends far beyond its cutting‐edge hardware; by equipping institutions with Enterprise Edition devices backed by extended warranty, Samsung Care+, and the industry-leading Knox MDM platform Samsung is fundamentally transforming the education ecosystem.

Throughout the workshop’s interactive roundtables, UAE education leaders shared candid insights on aligning technology investments with curriculum goals, emphasizing that robust device support, seamless management, and proactive maintenance are as critical as the hardware itself when rolling out smart classroom initiatives. In hands-on simulations, attendees witnessed how Knox MDM enables administrators to remotely enforce policies, push apps, and secure every tablet or interactive display with a few clicks, dramatically reducing downtime and ensuring student devices remain focused on learning.

Coupled with Samsung Care+, which safeguards schools against accidental damage and a comprehensive extended warranty program, these B2B solutions deliver the reliability and peace of mind that educators need to embrace digital transformation. By pairing world-class interactive displays and Galaxy AI features with Enterprise Edition services, Samsung is empowering schools to overcome infrastructure and upskilling challenges, foster collaborative teaching environments, and build a sustainable, future-focused education model across the UAE.

Networking and Sustainable Partnerships
The workshop fostered dynamic roundtables where educators shared strategies for aligning technology with curriculum goals. Key challenges like teacher training and equitable device access were addressed through peer-led solutions, such as phased implementation and cross-school networks. An evening networking dinner catalyzed partnership with school leaders initiating pilot programs for the 2025 academic year. As one principal noted: “This isn’t just about gadgets, it’s about building a community where educators and innovators co-create solutions.”

Commitment to the Future
Samsung and Mitsumi reaffirmed their dedication to long-term collaborations with UAE schools, emphasizing tailored deployments of AI tools, connected campus infrastructure, and ongoing training. The event closed with a shared vision: technology must serve pedagogy, not replace it. By automating routine tasks, AI empowers teachers to mentor creatively, while interactive platforms prepare students for a digital world.
