Oman's pavilion showcases cultural identity at Algiers Intl Fair
ALGIERS: The Sultanate of Oman's pavilion at the 56th Algiers International Fair (where Oman serves as a Guest of Honour) stands out for its stunning design and features exhibiting Oman's economic and cultural identity; and a broad range of unique items that appeal to the visitors. The Omani pavilion showcases the products of 60 companies operating in pharmaceutical, transport, electrical, real estate, fisheries, tourism, food and handicrafts sectors. In particular, Oman's cultural aspect is highlighted through the gallery that showcases Al Aqur neighbourhood (in Nizwa) that has been renovated to become a tourist attraction linked to the historical Nizwa Fort, the old capital of the Sultanate of Oman, Nizwa, once famous for being a hub for the traditional Omani sweets industry. Oman pavilion was designed as an integrated Omani village featuring landmarks Mahmoud Suleiman al Yazidi, Head of the Export Promotion Department at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, said that, after the Sultanate of Oman was selected as the Guest of Honour at the Algiers International Fair, emphasis was laid on devising a comprehensive vision that reflects Omani identity in all economic, cultural and service aspects. Al Yazidi said that the Omani pavilion occupies an area of 900 square metres and includes special galleries for government departments, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), large companies and craftsmen. He pointed out that the pavilion was designed as an integrated Omani village, featuring some landmarks that bear significance from the local environment and a host of components that inspire visitors to appreciate the depth of Omani civilisation, history and heritage. Al Yazidi explained that the pavilion's designs were supervised by 'Oman Exports Initiative' team, thus offering a symbolic gesture to open up new vistas for Omani products around the world and chart out a path for Omani exporters in their bids to explore target markets. The vitality of the Omani pavilion is further underscored by the strong presence of an Omani folklore band, which keeps performing national songs that reflect the Sultanate of Oman's artistic and cultural heritage. — ONA

E-freelancing gains momentum among Omani youth
MUSCAT: Online freelancing is gaining strong traction across the Sultanate of Oman, fuelled by the evolving digital economy and proactive government initiatives that support self-employment and youth empowerment. Aza bint Ibrahim al Kindi, Director of Commercial Affairs and E-Commerce at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, noted that e-commerce has become one of the most prominent freelancing sectors. This growth has been supported by streamlined licensing procedures, including the introduction of the 'Freelance Business Register' – a low-cost, regulated framework for individuals to operate legally. She emphasised that e-commerce offers significant advantages: low startup costs, broad consumer reach, and access to regional and global markets. These benefits make it an ideal platform for young Omanis seeking to build sustainable businesses and diversify income streams. Aza bint Ibrahim al Kindi, Director of Commercial Affairs and E-Commerce at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion Over 200 commercial activities are now covered by freelance licences, allowing businesses to gain consumer trust through platforms such as 'Maroof Oman,' which authenticates licensed e-stores. Al Kindi highlighted e-commerce's contribution to job creation, especially for graduates and job seekers in marketing, software, and digital design. The sector also showcases Omani talent and innovation, boosting value-added economic activity and modernising the business landscape. She cited the government's National E-Commerce Plan (2022–2027), which includes initiatives like the SME Authority's training programmes for global platforms such as Amazon and Noon. Other initiatives, such as the Ministry of Transport's 'Makin' programme, help upskill Omanis with in-demand technical skills. In conclusion, Al Kindi noted that online freelancing is not just a source of income but a critical stepping stone for entrepreneurship. It allows Omanis to build professional portfolios and networks before launching independent ventures, reinforcing Oman Vision 2040's aspirations for a knowledge-driven, innovative economy. — ONA

Move to localise Oman's ‘green copper' value chain
MUSCAT: A pioneer in the production of 'green copper'—copper cathode extracted from mining waste—is now exploring opportunities to boost in-country value (ICV) through potential investments in domestic copper rod manufacturing. The move seeks to localise the entire green copper lifecycle, from tailings to finished rod, said Imraan Shaikh, Managing Director of Green Tech Mining & Services. Earlier this month, the company— a joint venture between Oman Mining Company (49%) and Austria-based BPG Precious Metal Storage Plc (51%)—commissioned the Arjaa Tailings Processing Calibration Plant (ATPCP) in Suhar. This first-of-its-kind facility recycles copper tailings using renewable energy and advanced clean technologies. The facility, which serves as a precursor to a full-scale commercial plant scheduled to break ground before year-end, treats acid mine drainage waters and processes leaching deposits from stripping, overburden, and low-grade ore stockpiles to recover valuable metals. Green copper output, currently a modest 60 tonnes per annum, is projected to soar to 12,000 tonnes when full commercial operations commence in December 2026. While current production is exported under an offtake agreement with international commodities trader Traxys, Green Tech Mining is now engaging with local industry players to foster downstream processing in Oman. 'The Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion is keen to enhance in-country value,' said Shaikh in an interview with The Energy Year, a leading business news platform. 'We are in discussions with Oman Cables and Nuhas Oman to explore copper rod production using locally recycled green copper.' Green Tech Mining currently manages around 18 million tonnes of copper tailings at Arjaa, a legacy of copper mining operations from 1983 to 1994. An additional 6 million tonnes has been secured through a partnership with leading Omani miner, Mawarid Mining. More tailings are expected to become available as a new wave of copper mining and processing projects gathers pace in the Sultanate. The company's green copper initiative is built on a 'sustainable circular mining' model, combining low-carbon reprocessing technologies with renewable energy. Funding for the project was raised through green bonds certified by Austria's Ministry of Climate Affairs and Energy. 'This is not just a financial milestone—it's a global first,' Shaikh noted. 'While major firms like BHP have issued green bonds for renewable energy, our bonds are the first in the world dedicated specifically to mine tailings remediation. It is also the first green bond-funded project in the GCC's mining sector.' With copper now officially designated a critical mineral due to its essential role in the global energy transition, Green Tech Mining aims to contribute to closing the supply gap through environmentally responsible tailings recovery.
