Company Summary
We have been developing business opportunities in Libya since last year's revolution. Since that time, a resurgence of business travel into the country is already under way, and demand for short-term office space already far outstrips supply. This imbalance will definitely increase in the coming months, and within this gap we see an opportunity. To that end, we are about to open Tripoli's first business center that caters to foreign companies.
