SMEs empowered under equal opportunities initiative
MUSCAT: A new phase of support for Omani entrepreneurs was launched with the fourth edition of the National Equal Opportunities Initiative, spearheaded by the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) and the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn). The initiative aims to bolster local industries, encourage innovation, and provide small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with access to viable business opportunities. Dr Ayman bin Abdullah al Fudhaili, CEO of the Industrial Innovation Academy, stated that Madayn has empowered SMEs by offering technical support, capacity-building programmes, and strategic partnerships that enhance competitiveness and ensure sustainable growth. One of the Academy's key programmes is "Oman Makers", which supports small factories with diagnostics, consulting, and prototype development. He also highlighted the "Sohar Production" initiative, a manufacturing hub offering reverse engineering services and precision design capabilities that reduce R&D costs. Additionally, the "Business Accelerator", part of the Omani Startups Programme, connects startups with investment opportunities to scale both locally and internationally. Numerous training programmes have also been rolled out, including those in AI applications, plastic machinery operations, legal skills, and traditional ship modelling. The Academy has also identified critical service needs across Madayn's industrial zones—such as maintenance, PR, legal and insurance services—which SMEs can fulfil. These services are estimated to be worth over RO 6.7 million. The launch event saw the signing of contracts between SMEs and various stakeholders to deliver these services. A successful case study was presented to showcase the impact of such collaborations. The event was attended by Shaikh Dr Ali bin Masoud al Sunaidy, Chairman of OPAZ, underscoring the government's ongoing commitment to supporting SME growth in the Sultanate of Oman. — ONA

Dialogue highlights SMEs role in boosting
MUSCAT, June 17: In a move to strengthen collaboration and integration with key stakeholders, the Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises Development (ASMED) held its 15th dialogue session focused on enhancing opportunities for SMEs in the retail, construction and manufacturing sectors. The session, attended by Qais bin Mohammed al Yousef, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, brought together SMEs owners and stakeholders from across these sectors. It aligns with ASMED's ongoing efforts to improve the business environment and make it more conducive and attractive to SMEs. The discussion aimed to amplify SMEs contributions by encouraging innovation, improving operational efficiency, fostering public-private partnerships and promoting awareness about SMEs as a vital pillar of the national economy. The minister noted, 'Omani companies should not only focus on the local market. We encourage expansion beyond Oman. The ministry supports entrepreneurs through structured, evidence-based decision-making. Moreover, the Ministry of Labour's mandate to employ Omanis excludes those holding entrepreneurship cards.' Key topics addressed included policies, legislation, licensing and support mechanisms that help SMEs develop creative solutions and form strategic partnerships. The session also opened the floor for questions, enabling business owners to share challenges and suggest viable solutions. Oman is working towards a robust industrial future in line with national aspirations. In the past five years, significant milestones have been achieved in the industrial sector. The government is now focused on enhancing the competitiveness of national products, both locally and internationally. Emphasising the importance of local content, the dialogue reinforced its role in developing economic infrastructure and improving the business ecosystem. This drives productivity, boosts sector efficiency and fosters innovation, contributing to long-term economic and financial stability while promoting balanced and sustainable growth.
