The project has been rolled out based on the framework of Global Innovation Institute (GInI) in close coordination with the sultanate’s Innovation Hub and strategic support from Alizz Islamic Bank and Oman Vision 2040 Implementation Follow-up Unit.

GInI is a US-based professional certification and business accreditation firm in the field of innovation.

Countries across the MENA region have traditionally implemented separate innovation directives for individual organisations.

The guidebook project will eventually pave the way for greater free-flow of collaboration across the government and private sectors, thereby ensuring an all-encompassing and consistent vision for innovation-based growth and joint cooperation in the sultanate.

The project aims to foster a culture of innovation and collaboration within Oman, while addressing key issues such as innovation strategy alignment, organised and structured innovation efforts, and cultivation of competency and talent in the sphere of innovation.
