We are delighted to collaborate for the second time with the Public Authority for Youth and our colleagues at Engineering Systems Group. As the leading owner and developer of warehousing and light industrial parks in the Middle East, Agility always welcomes such opportunities. Our doors are always open to support all our youth.”
