About the Committee

The AmCham Oman Technology & AI Committee serves as a collaborative platform bringing together leaders from across Oman's technology ecosystem to strengthen industry dialogue, support public-private collaboration, and develop practical initiatives that contribute to the Sultanate's digital transformation agenda.

Operating under the guidance of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT), the Committee brings together representatives from leading technology companies, government entities, startups, SMEs, academia, and the wider innovation ecosystem to identify opportunities, address industry challenges, and deliver initiatives that create measurable impact.

The Committee is built on a simple philosophy:

ALIGNMENT | ACTION | IMPACT

Its focus extends beyond discussion to developing practical initiatives, workforce development programs, industry research, and strategic collaboration that support Oman Vision 2040.

Committee Vision & Mission

2026 Strategic Priorities

2026 Committee Achievements

During its inaugural year, the Committee focused on building a strong foundation for long-term collaboration between industry, government, and academia.

Tech Talks

The Committee established quarterly executive dialogue sessions with H.E. Dr. Ali Al Shidhani, Undersecretary at MTCIT, providing a platform to present committee progress, discuss industry priorities, and identify opportunities for collaboration between government and the private sector.

Workforce Development

Committee members advanced a number of workforce development initiatives focused on preparing Omani talent for careers in technology. These initiatives include AI training, cybersecurity education, professional certifications, graduate readiness, recruitment opportunities, and employer-led learning programs delivered by committee members and their organizations.

Numo USA

Following discussions with MTCIT and ecosystem stakeholders, the Committee developed Numo USA, an initiative designed to support high-potential Omani technology startups and SMEs as they prepare for international growth and access to the U.S. market.

Industry Research

The Committee launched one of its first major research initiatives focused on understanding the knowledge, skills, and competencies technology employers expect from graduates entering the workforce. The findings will contribute to a Technology Workforce Readiness Report, providing practical recommendations to strengthen alignment between academia, industry, and workforce development initiatives.

Government & Ecosystem Engagement

Throughout the year, the Committee worked closely with MTCIT, Riyada, technology companies, universities, and other ecosystem partners to ensure committee initiatives complemented existing national priorities while creating new opportunities for collaboration.

Looking Ahead

The Committee will continue expanding its work through industry-led initiatives, workforce development programs, research, executive dialogue, and strategic partnerships that support Oman's digital economy and strengthen collaboration between Oman and the United States.
