The winds of digital transformation are blowing stronger across Oman, carrying with them a sense of purpose, ambition, and opportunity. Once seen as a quiet observer in the region’s technology race, the Sultanate is now stepping into the spotlight, determined to turn its Vision 2040 goals into reality through innovation, local empowerment, and partnerships that matter.

Into this evolving landscape steps Introduct Group, an Estonia-based international integrated technology partner, officially announcing the launch of its operations in Oman. The move signals more than just an expansion; it represents a commitment to help build the foundations of a self-sustaining, innovation-led economy powered by local talent.

With its primary development offices in Kyiv, Ukraine, and Tallinn, Introduct Group’s decision to establish a base in the Sultanate underscores its belief in Oman’s potential as an emerging hub for technology and human capital development. The company’s focus in the country will be clear: create jobs for local professionals, develop digital capabilities, and strengthen the national tech ecosystem through collaborations with government, academia, and private sector organizations.

To lead this transformative journey, Introduct Group has appointed Tariq Hilal Al Barwani as its Strategic Business and Innovation Advisor, a name synonymous with innovation, youth empowerment, and thought leadership in Oman.

“Putting Omanis into the technology sector is the main objective of my work with Introduct Group,” Tariq shared in conversation with TECHx Media. “Introduct operates from Estonia with a presence in four countries and over nine companies. The launch in Oman represents a strategic move to the Middle East, and my role is to ensure that this expansion directly benefits local talent.”

Beyond Training

In an era where training often stops at theory, Introduct Group’s approach stands apart. The company is introducing a capacity-building framework designed to go beyond conventional workshops and certifications.

“Most organizations send their employees for training to learn a technology,” Tariq explained. “But when they return to work, they often struggle to apply it. Introduct’s approach is different. We go into the organization, study its systems, and then create training based on those systems. This ensures employees can actually operate and maintain the technologies in place.”

This hands-on model addresses one of the biggest gaps in the region’s digital landscape, the lack of contextual learning that turns training into real operational expertise. By tailoring development to each organization’s existing technology infrastructure, Introduct ensures local employees are not just trained but truly empowered.

Oman Is Ready

Oman today stands at a defining point in its digital evolution. With Oman Vision 2040 outlining clear priorities around innovation, youth empowerment, and diversification, the country has begun positioning itself as a serious contender among regional technology hubs.

“We will soon see technology departments across Oman Omanized,” Tariq said. “As a technologist, my role is to help make that happen. Organizations have long discussed the need to hire and train local professionals. Our goal is to move from conversation to action, to make Omanization in technology a reality.”

This ambition is not just about policy compliance; it is about creating a self-reliant ecosystem where Omanis lead the design, implementation, and operation of technologies that drive national progress.

The Sultanate’s growing startup culture, government-backed digital programs, and its strategic location between the GCC, Africa, and Asia make it an increasingly attractive base for international technology companies looking for long-term partnerships. With its measured yet determined approach, Oman is steadily transforming from a technology consumer into a technology creator.

Global Thinking, Local Transformation

Introduct Group’s expansion into Oman is not an isolated move but part of its broader global strategy to link innovation ecosystems across continents. From Europe to the Middle East, the company has focused on connecting innovation with opportunity, helping organizations and communities unlock their potential through digital transformation, innovation consulting, and capacity building.

With Tariq Hilal Al Barwani guiding its local efforts, the company gains not just a strategic advisor but a bridge between global expertise and local insight. Through his work with initiatives such as Knowledge Oman and Tech Oman, Tariq has long been at the intersection of education, innovation, and social impact.

“Everything I’m involved in, whether academia, knowledge platforms, or innovation programs, connects in some way,” he said. “Introduct’s arrival in Oman complements this network, ensuring that technology empowerment happens in a connected and meaningful way.”

A Shared Vision for Empowerment

For Introduct Group, the expansion marks a continuation of its mission to empower people, businesses, and governments to thrive in the digital era. The company’s approach blends technology solutions with human development, ensuring that transformation is not just technological but also societal.

“Our shared vision is to strengthen local capacities, open new pathways for youth employment, and contribute to Oman’s digital transformation journey,” Tariq concluded. “This is not just an expansion, it’s a movement toward sustainable technological empowerment.”

As the Sultanate deepens its digital foundations, collaborations like this one represent more than a milestone. They embody Oman’s readiness to stand tall in the regional innovation landscape, not as a follower, but as a force shaping the future of technology in the Middle East.
