Oman Dazzled With AI and Quantum Breakthroughs at COMEX 2025
Excitement buzzed through the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre as the Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing Forum brought together tech enthusiasts, experts, and innovators. The event, part of COMEX 2025, delivered a whirlwind of fresh ideas and futuristic projects, all aimed at boosting Oman’s digital presence on the world stage.
Leaders kicked off a tech-packed day
Eng. Said Hamoud Al Maawali, Minister of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology, officially opened the forum, setting the tone for a day filled with discovery. Attendees explored sessions on quantum computing’s wild probabilities and risks, and dove into the future of AI infrastructure. A lively panel discussion tackled the big question: how can artificial intelligence and quantum computing join forces for even greater impact?
National initiatives made a splash
Three major national projects took center stage under the National Programme for AI and Advanced Technologies. First up was the Omani Linguistic Model, ‘Mueen’—a bold leap toward creating a smart AI that truly understands Omani language and culture. Next, the Omani AI Studio promised to connect experts with institutions, offering everything from hands-on workshops to student training and tailored consultations. The studio’s mission? To help organizations embrace AI and spark new business adventures.
