The new head of Smart City Dubai, Abdullatif AlMulla, has promised new tenants for the Maltese ICT city in the coming weeks and expressed confidence in the interest being shown by local and international companies.

“We have a very strong interest from both local and international companies to move to Smart City Malta. Since June 2012, we have signed with a number of business partners. We will announce these details jointly with them when they open their doors for business at Smart City Malta very soon. We are also in talks with many other potential business partners,” Mr AlMulla told The Sunday Times of Malta.

Mr AlMulla, a former general manager for Microsoft South Gulf, was in Malta on Friday for a short stopover to meet Prime Minister Joseph Muscat after he was appointed head of the Dubai group earlier this year.

He was previously Group CEO of Tecom, owners of Smart City Dubai, since 2005.
