23 Dec 2019

Over 150 VIPs, guests and executives from across Oman gathered on Wednesday at a ceremony hosted by Forbes Middle East to honour the biggest and best organisations and leaders in the region.

It was the first event that Forbes Middle East has hosted in Oman, during which it revealed the country’s most successful companies. These lists are featured in the December edition of Forbes Middle East magazine, within a special Oman report.

“We hope that this event will be an inspiration not only for existing organisations, but also for aspiring entrepreneurs. This is a great time to be in Oman, especially with the country working towards its Vision 2040. We expect to see entrepreneurship taking centre stage in the region, along with more Omani residents and organisations being ranked in Forbes Middle East’s lists in the future,” said Khuloud al Omian, editor-in-chief at Forbes Middle East.
