MUSCAT : Introduct Group has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT) to strengthen the development of Omani talent and accelerate the localization of skills within the Sultanate’s rapidly growing technology sector. The agreement was signed by Dr. Seema Al Kaabi, Director General of Sector Stimulation and Future Skills alongside Viktor Larionov, Group CEO and Senior Managing Partner of Introduct Group, in the presence of senior leadership representatives from both parties, underscoring the shared commitment to advancing national capability building and digital transformation in Oman.

The collaboration supports the Ministry’s efforts to prepare national talent for the digital economy by providing practical, industry-led training that bridges the gap between academic education and real workplace requirements. Through the initiative, 60 graduates from various Information Technology disciplines will receive hands-on training designed to improve their employability and readiness to contribute to Oman’s digital transformation.

The partnership reflects Introduct’s long-term commitment to building a sustainable technology ecosystem driven by Omani professionals. Beyond technical training, the company aims to create pathways that connect education, industry, and employment, ensuring graduates develop the practical experience and professional competencies sought by employers.

“At Introduct, we believe that the future of Oman’s digital economy depends on investing in Omani talent and giving graduates the opportunity to gain real industry experience. We are proud to work alongside the Ministry to create opportunities that equip young Omanis with globally relevant skills while addressing the evolving needs of the local technology industry. Our objective is to help build a workforce that can lead Oman’s digital future,” said Viktor Larionov, Group CEO and Senior Managing Partner.

As part of its broader commitment to developing national capabilities, Introduct has also established strategic collaborations with leading higher education institutions in Oman, including Muscat College, Middle East College, and German University of Technology in Oman. These collaborations are designed to strengthen the connection between academia and industry by exposing students to emerging technologies, practical learning experiences, professional mentorship, and career opportunities that prepare them for the evolving digital economy.

“Building a globally competitive technology workforce cannot be achieved by one stakeholder alone. It requires a strong and sustained partnership between government, academia, and industry, with each playing a complementary role in developing the next generation of Omani technology professionals. This collaboration reflects exactly that vision of bringing together policy, education, and practical industry experience to create meaningful career pathways for our youth. At Introduct, we are proud to contribute to this national effort and support Oman in building a resilient, knowledge-based digital economy.” said Tariq Al Barwani, Strategic Advisor to Introduct
