Therefore, our role today is more important than ever to employ all of our Research and Development (R&D) endeavours and continue to develop solutions that better people’s lives.” Itani added, “We thank The European Global Business Awards for highlighting the potential of digital transformation in Lebanon and all of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and the role of the private sector in pushing the limits in time of crisis”.
