Omantel launched an AI Centre of Excellence in May 2026, creating a centralized platform designed to accelerate adoption of advanced artificial intelligence technologies across industries. The initiative combines integrated data environments, operational infrastructure and innovation capabilities to help organizations transform AI concepts into scalable digital products and practical business applications.
As part of the rollout, Omantel also introduced an AI Startups Program that connects startups from Omantel Innovation Labs with internal teams and real operational environments to co-develop commercially viable AI solutions. Participating startups including Decoil, Remedy, ORKI, DeepAstra and Wiya will gain access to Omantel’s technical infrastructure, specialized expertise and regional partnerships across sectors such as telecommunications, finance, healthcare, energy and government services.
For businesses and consumers, the initiative aims to shorten the path from AI experimentation to deployable services while strengthening Oman’s digital innovation ecosystem. The program also supports Oman Vision 2040 by encouraging entrepreneurship and the adoption of scalable AI across the region.
