The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) organized the "Equal National Opportunities" initiative. H.E. Dr. Ali bin Masoud Al Sunaidy, OPAZ Chairman, was present as several Omani business owners and entrepreneurs participated in the event.
The initiative aims to support Omani entrepreneurs and SMEs owners by organizing an introductory exhibition at the Authority's premises for the eleven Omani entrepreneurs who own these projects. For an entire day, the entrepreneurs showcased their creative products, talked about their experiences and project successes, shared ideas and insights with OPAZ representatives and staff, and opened up the opportunity to purchase their products
The event began with the opening of the exhibition, which was held on the sidelines of this initiative. The exhibition showcased many ideas and highlights the work carried out by the participating projects. There were numerous concepts and standouts from the work completed by the participating projects in the exhibition. The participants shared their experiences, triumphs, and obstacles encountered as entrepreneurs with the ceremony's sponsor and attendees.
OPAZ seeks to build enduring relationships with these business owners to assist SMEs owners in locating their projects within its supervised industrial, free, and economic zones and utilizing the resources, benefits, and incentives that OPAZ provides for these projects. In addition to strengthening the innovation culture and its role in enhancing added value, these objectives contribute to the authority's vision of making the regions it oversees (the ideal destination for investment). Additionally, they enable investors to utilize cutting edge technologies and solutions by enabling them to incorporate digital transformation and artificial intelligence into their projects.
