Moro has expanded its activities recently to provide digital services and smart solutions to numerous companies and government organisations to improve practices and introduce AI in various pillars.”We work according to the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make Dubai the best city in the world to live and work.
