We see Dubai as an excellent starting place for our expansion plans into the Middle East. It's a unique ecosystem that thrives on innovation and is always ready to rapidly adopt new technologies like the VMS-PLUS. Some of the most creative and ambitious projects in the world are in the UAE. Finding a local partner for the region was one of our targets for 2017.”
