How do you help companies to
make progress?
We do lots of events and networking sessions
where they can invite their network, and of
course, all the companies which are within
their ‘buy, sell’ sector so there is always an
opportunity to create business together.
What can you tell us about the IT
part of all of this?
IT is part of everything including the
solutions at the warehousing facilities.
Starting from the goods which arrive
at the seaport that is connected to
our airport and the connection bridge
between them, IT is involved in everything
– that’s whether you are looking at
communications IT, Artificial Intelligence
or tracking goods for example. Whenever
people are looking to increase their cost or
efficiency that’s IT related.
When companies are moving into
the project surely one of their main
concerns is IT infrastructure?
Exactly. Some companies look at the hard
infrastructure which is about buildings.
Others look at the soft infrastructure which
is basically all the regulations, all of the
licences, things that they could utilise
instead of building their own data centres
for example, and instead of building all their
own clouds, they could utilise others.
