The Emirates company APEX National Investment has announced its signing of a strategic commercial agreement to develop research and studies on the novel corona virus (COVID-19) with the Israeli company, TeraGroup.
The agreement was signed by APEX National Investment’s Chairman Khalifa Yousef Khouri and TeraGroup’s Chairman & CEO Oren Sadiv at a press conference held at the Al Qudra Holding headquarters in the Abu Dhabi Emirate.
