“ Humans depend on tech. And they are more adapted to new technology. I noticed a lot of businesses working on the internet and selling products through their business and marketing promoting using that tool very well and efficiently. I think they adapt very well,” Naas said during a panel discussion at the ongoing Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) Congress 2024 in Abu Dhabi.
