Khulood bint Ali al Muhaidri, Senior Technology Projects Specialist at MTCIT, revealed that the initiative was comprehensively developed following consultations with universities, experts, and innovation specialists, adding that, “We observed that many projects from existing accelerator programs fail to complete the development cycle. This program addresses those gaps by offering continuous, sustainable support over a longer period.”
Participants in the Deep Technologies program will benefit from a support system that includes expert guidance on creating clear marketing strategies and securing financial backing, as well as mentorship from industry leaders. Additionally, the initiative will facilitate direct access to potential investors interested in advanced tech.
The program’s focus on deep technologies is being driven by technological breakthroughs including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, biotechnology, and sustainable energy solutions.
Muhaidri emphasized, “The goal is to promote innovation that tackles real-world challenges while driving technological growth in Oman.”
