Muscat: The volume of investments in the industrial cities of the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn) exceeded OMR7 billion at the end of 2022, a senior executive of Madayn said.
“The industrial cities of Madayn are witnessing a great demand from investors from both inside and outside Oman by localising their projects in various sectors,” said Hamad bin Hamoud Al-Qasabi, Acting CEO of Madayn.
The number of the national workforce reached more than 19,000 across various industrial cities, he added.
He said that Madayn is working to improve the services it provides to investors and has completed the opening of Masar centres in all the industrial cities and working on the digital transformation system and automating the services it provides.
