region is increasingly becoming a significant market for investments.
Within this framework, Libya became a strategic choice for INTRACOM. Following
its successful presence in Jordan and Dubai, INTRACOM, with its broad
experience in the ICT sector, addresses Libya as a high priority strategic
market. We are here to work hard with you."
Dimitris Kynigopoulos, General
