“Brmajan" Digital Transformation Hackathon enters Guinness World Records

Muscat: The "Brmajan" Digital Transformation Hackathon, organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Youth, has achieved a global milestone by entering the Guinness World Records as the longest government-led digital transformation hackathon and the largest multi-site hackathon lesson worldwide.

The main venues for the event included the National Museum and the main hall at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Bausher, with over 250 young participants, in the presence of Sayyid Said Sultan Al Busaidi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth for Culture.

Sultan Mohsen Al Subhi, Project Manager of the Hackathon, stated that this achievement documents the Ministry’s efforts in advancing digital transformation across its services and serves as a marketing tool to promote government digital initiatives. He emphasised that the international recognition would help spread positive messages about the importance of digital transformation for governments.

Through "Brmajan," the Ministry aims to showcase the capabilities of Omani youth in developing innovative digital solutions, empower them to leverage their creativity in the field of digital transformation, and engage the community in creating solutions that enhance the performance of government institutions.

Launched on 21 July, the hackathon features a series of technical challenges and training sessions designed to help participants develop practical solutions for various sectors. It brings together elite developers, programmers, user experience designers, and business analysts from across the Sultanate of Oman.
