We see Dubai as a perfect fit for our expansion plans. It’s a unique ecosystem that thrives in innovation and is always seeking top companies to work with. There are several fields that we will explore and this partnership may bring us close to incredible opportunities. Some of the most creative and ambitious projects in the world are in the UAE. Being part of it was one of our main targets for 2017.”
