Technology transfer remains a central focus as Oman and Belarus signed three memoranda of understanding (MoUs) on Wednesday in Muscat. These agreements aim to strengthen bilateral cooperation in automotive manufacturing, smart technologies, and digital solutions.
To begin with, Karwa Motors signed an MoU with Amkodor, a Belarusian industrial firm. This agreement sets a joint framework for expanding industrial and commercial projects. Specifically, it targets markets in Oman, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and Africa.
Following that, Karwa Motors entered into a second MoU with the Belarusian company MAZ. This deal involves collaboration in manufacturing and distributing vehicles, trailers, and specialized transport equipment. Furthermore, it includes plans for a production line within Karwa’s facility in Oman.
As part of the deal, MAZ will transfer technical knowledge and offer specialized training programs. In turn, this will build national skills and enhance local industrial efficiency. Consequently, it will strengthen Oman’s manufacturing base and workforce capabilities.
Moreover, both Karwa agreements were signed by Dr. Ibrahim Ali Al Balushi, CEO of Karwa Motors, along with representatives from Amkodor and MAZ. These initiatives directly support Oman’s broader strategy of attracting foreign investments through strategic partnerships. As a result, they contribute to economic diversification and regional competitiveness.
In addition, a third MoU focused on digital innovation. Oman National Engineering and Investment Company (ONEIC) signed the agreement with Belarusian tech company Delivery Software, known for its “Delivio” platform.
This partnership, on the other hand, targets the development of digital solutions in artificial intelligence, fintech, and automation. As a result, the agreement aims to support Oman’s digital transition and modernize operations across several industries.
Furthermore, ONEIC’s General Manager of IT and E-Business, Eng. Aziz Alhasani, and Delivio CEO, Andrei Sudakov, signed the MoU. They emphasized the importance of innovation in driving future-ready business practices and boosting regional competitiveness.
Meanwhile, the signing ceremony included top officials from both countries. Notable attendees were Abdulsalam Mohammed Al Murshidi, Chairman of Oman Investment Authority, and Dr. Abdullah Masoud Al Harthy, Honorary Consul of Belarus to Oman.
Ultimately, these MoUs reflect the work of the Omani-Belarusian Joint Committee. Their shared goal is to promote technology transfer, support national talent, and position Oman as a regional innovation hub.
