According to the committee, the projects span key industrial and logistics sectors, including food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, iron and steel, aluminium, plastics, recycling, and initiatives supporting heavy industries and advanced supply chains. The investment offering aligns closely with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, with a focus on value-added and future-ready industries.

The package highlights the strength of Sohar as a strategic economic hub, backed by world-class infrastructure such as a major port, free zone, advanced industrial park and an integrated road network. Its location provides direct access to regional and global markets, positioning the governorate to host projects ranging from light and medium industries to large-scale, technology-driven manufacturing.

Engineer Saeed bin Ali Al-Abri, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry branch in North Al Batinah Governorate, said the governorate remains a cornerstone of Oman’s economic development due to its integrated industrial and logistical capabilities. He reaffirmed the chamber’s commitment to supporting investors and fostering a transparent, partnership-based business environment that converts opportunities into impactful projects.

The 2026 edition of the forum is being positioned as a significant leap forward, featuring high-level keynote sessions with government officials, private sector leaders and economic experts, alongside B2B meetings and a large-scale investment exhibition showcasing existing and upcoming projects.
