Khalifa Al Shamsi, chief digital services officer of Etisalat Group, said: ?Etisalat is constantly looking for new ways to enhance the way in which we serve our customers. By partnering with iMENA, we are helping to develop the Internet ecosystem which would foster an entrepreneurial environment and encourage the creation of new companies and business models in our region, for our region.?
