Oman is accelerating investments in its semiconductor sector as part of its Vision 2040 strategy to build a knowledge-based, diversified economy.
Led by the Oman Investment Authority (OIA) through ITHCA Group, the country is attracting global semiconductor firms and investing in advanced technologies to localize key parts of the value chain. Strategic investments in companies such as GSME, Lumotive, and Movandi are enabling the establishment of design centres, optical technology capabilities, and 5G-related semiconductor solutions within Oman.
These initiatives are also driving talent development, with training programs producing skilled engineers and supporting employment in chip design and advanced electronics. The investments aim to transfer expertise, strengthen R&D capabilities, and position Oman as a regional hub for advanced technology industries.
By expanding its semiconductor ecosystem, Oman is enhancing its role in critical sectors such as AI, communications, and energy systems, while supporting long-term economic diversification and competitiveness.
