From his end, Hisham Itani, chairman and CEO at Resource Group, said “This partnership is a powerful combination bringing a rich history and a distinctive knowhow in business and technology innovation.” He explained, “With the increasing use of digital technologies, it is crucial to have a solid digital infrastructure, adopt e-government platforms and encourage business incubation. In fact, transformation is key for a sustained business growth and this can only be achieved through collaboration, research and development, and innovation.”

Itani added, “By joining forces with Belhasa Group whose legacy is inspiring, we have an opportunity to serve our customers through a wide array of industries in their digital transformation and deliver solutions that match the constant changing landscape of business”.
