Muscat – The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MoCIIP) will launch Tejarah Talks on Wednesday at the Civil Aviation Authority Training Centre in Al Hail North. Tejarah Talks will bring together business and thought leaders in a series – seven in all – of evening sessions to explore issues shaping Oman’s business landscape, impacting investment and driving non-oil exports, the ministry stated.

‘From measuring and reducing CO2 emissions to green finance, carbon capture and waste reduction, our Tejarah Talks will cover many different aspects of sustainability,’ it stated.

Maymuna al Adawi, director and organiser of Tejarah Talks, said, “Through this inspiring initiative, we look forward to showcasing the dynamism of business and industry in Oman and highlighting how under the wise guidance of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, Oman Vision 2040 is creating the conditions where more than ever investors in our country can grow, succeed and thrive.”

Tackling topics directly relevant to business, industry and investment in Oman, economic diversification and job creation, besides pressing global issues, Tejarah Talks will explore post-COVID-19 company culture, the evolving world of manufacturing, cracking export markets, green transition, creative industries, and marketing in the new data-led world. The first session of the series will focus on the topic ‘Sustainability: A Nice-to-have or a Need-to-have?’ on February 23.
