Oman partners with Egypt’s Prime Group to launch 1st AI zone in Muscat

The project was unveiled on the sidelines of the COMEX International Exhibition in Muscat.

It is positioned as a flagship initiative to establish Oman as a regional and global hub for technology, innovation, and investment, while creating an enabling environment for local and international tech start-ups.

Siham Al-Harthi, chairperson of Afouq Developments, said the zone would integrate the most advanced global technologies and future-ready solutions, while drawing inspiration from Omani heritage.

“This zone is designed to meet the needs of tech start-ups and place Oman among leading nations in adopting and hosting cutting-edge companies,” she added.

Meanwhile, Prime Group CEO Mahmoud Farrag highlighted the firm’s experience in developing major international projects, noting that global partnerships have already been initiated to support the zone’s development.

“Our network of corporations, research centres, and accelerators will help create a global platform for technology companies and future investments,” Farrag said.
