The successful completion of the Shift Gear strategy has strengthened Omantel’s foundation for expansion and diversification, enabling us to accelerate growth and reinforce our leadership in the region. Our strategic focus on revenue growth, infrastructure advancement, and high-impact partnerships with global technology leaders including Amazon Web Services, Google, and Huawei has solidified our position in an increasingly competitive market. Building on this momentum, Omantel is expanding horizontally through its strategic investment in Zain Group, which is scaling its presence across the region through TASC, Zain Fintech, and Zain Tech. Building on this expansion strategy, Omantel is deepening its investments in cloud computing, cybersecurity, fintech, IoT, and AI-driven solutions, positioning itself as a leader in consumer and enterprise emerging technologies. By leveraging access to a customer base of over 52 million across eight markets, we are unlocking new opportunities for digital transformation and industry-wide innovation.
Our subsidiaries play a pivotal role in driving sustained growth and shaping Oman’s technological landscape. ODP now serves over 700 enterprise clients, reinforcing our position as the country’s leading ICT solutions provider. Tadoom is spearheading IoT solutions for critical national projects, including Sultan Haitham City, demonstrating our expertise in enabling smart cities and next-generation digital infrastructure. In the entrepreneurial ecosystem through Innovation Labs, the startups we supported have flourished, collectively reaching a valuation of over USD 172 Mn. and generating more than 200 new jobs, reinforcing our role in driving economic sustainability and innovation.
Our commitment to social impact was equally significant, with the launch of 30 high-impact Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, positively transforming the lives of over 260,000 individuals across Oman. Beyond Oman’s borders, our alliance with Zain Group led to the formation of Zain Omantel International (ZOI), one of the largest wholesale companies in the middle east unlocking value in eight countries.
We recently launched SN1, Oman’s second carrier-neutral data center, in Salalah with Equinix, enhancing global connectivity. The arrival of ten international submarine cables will make Salalah the second most connected city in the Middle East. These partnerships reinforce Omantel’s vision of positioning Oman as a leading digital hub. As we look ahead, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of technology, fostering meaningful partnerships, and creating a lasting impact on communities and businesses alike.
