“Our presence at Gitex lets our customers and partners know that we remain extremely dedicated to this market and that we will continue to invest both in terms of technology as well as other resources. Apart from raising awareness about our brand, the event gives us the opportunity to interact with and identify new distribution and OEM partners which is absolutely vital to the success of our business model,” concludes Mr. Dweik.
