Through this collaboration that was announced at GITEX GLOBAL 2022, du and GoDaddy intend to bring affordable and easy-to-use digital tools for the SME and SoHo segments to tackle the many technological shifts in a post-pandemic world.

"It is important for a digital-first telco such as du to identify, understand and effectively support small businesses in the UAE," Karim Benkirane, Chief Commercial Officer at du, said. "The sector represents a path to not only individual prosperity but also to strong, equitable communities. Our partnership with GoDaddy will support us in building a healthy ecosystem for entrepreneurs to grow and prosper in the region and beyond."
