The platform was unveiled at the Burjeel Holdings booth, in the presence of His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, AD Ports Group, and Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman, Burjeel Holdings.
