MUSCAT : Reaffirming its commitment to supporting Omani youth and promoting innovation and scientific research, Bank Muscat, the leading financial services provider in the Sultanate of Oman, extended its support to the second edition of the Student Graduation Projects Exhibition organised by Sultan Qaboos University (SQU). The initiative reflects the Bank’s continued efforts to strengthen cooperation with educational institutions and contribute to developing the skills and capabilities of young Omanis.

In recognition of the Bank’s support for the exhibition, H.H. Sayyida Dr. Mona Fahad Al Said, Assistant Vice-Chancellor for International Cooperation at Sultan Qaboos University and patron of the event, honoured Bank Muscat for its contribution to the success of the exhibition. The honour was received by Salim Mohammed Al Kaabi, General Manager Credit and Legal, on behalf of the Bank.

Held on 12 and 13 May 2026 at the Conference and Exhibition Hall at Sultan Qaboos University, the exhibition brought together university officials, guests and students presenting a range of graduation projects and research initiatives. The exhibition served as an important platform for students to showcase their innovative ideas and engage with visitors, helping bridge academic outcomes with labour market requirements.

Speaking on the occasion, Salim Mohammed Al Kaabi, General Manager Credit and Legal at Bank Muscat, said: “Bank Muscat is committed to supporting initiatives that contribute to developing the capabilities of Omani youth and encouraging innovation and creativity. Our partnership with Sultan Qaboos University reflects the importance of collaboration between the private sector and academic institutions in supporting sustainable development and preparing future generations to contribute to Oman’s economic growth and diversification. We are proud to support programmes that invest in human capital and create opportunities for students to showcase their talents and achievements.”

As part of its corporate social responsibility vision, Bank Muscat continues to support initiatives focused on education, youth development and scientific research, recognising their importance in achieving sustainable development goals. The Bank regularly participates in events and activities organised by educational institutions, including the annual Career Fair hosted by the Career Guidance Centre at Sultan Qaboos University, graduation ceremonies and various career exhibitions.

Bank Muscat was also among the first financial institutions to establish a branch at the Sultan Qaboos University campus, in addition to a dedicated Meethaq Islamic Banking branch. The branches provide a comprehensive range of banking services and facilities for students, academic staff and employees, supported by ATMs and CDMs operating round the clock to ensure convenient and seamless banking services for customers.
