Our ambition is to innovate, lead, and deliver greater value for those we serve. Together, we will continue shaping a brighter, more digitally empowered future.'
Hatem Dowidar, Group Chief Executive Officer of e&, said, '2024 was a year of 'more' — more impact, more opportunities, more growth, and more passion for excellence. It marked a successful chapter in our transformation journey as we continued to evolve into a global technology leader. We leveraged our presence of telecom and digital services across 38 countries to deliver enhanced dividends and a stronger performance, cementing trust among our stakeholders. Through superior connectivity, advanced digital solutions, and AI-driven innovations, we will continue to empower our customers and the communities we serve.
'As we look ahead, we do so with a clear vision: to lead with purpose, collaborate with impact, and innovate for the future. 2025 will see us deepen our focus on digital transformation, scale our AI and data-driven solutions, and drive inclusivity in technology access. With the support of our talented teams, trusted partners, and loyal customers, we are poised to continue empowering communities, transforming industries, delivering sustainable value for generations to come, and always go for more.'
