The Duqm Summer Sessions will return this August with a mission to guide investors through key global trends. Hosted by SEZAD, the sessions will run throughout August 2025 at the authority’s headquarters in Al Wusta.
This year, the Duqm Summer Sessions will focus on four major topics: artificial intelligence, workforce development, trade logistics, and workplace culture. These sessions aim to provide business leaders with tools that support growth and sustainable operations.
The first event will explore how artificial intelligence improves industrial efficiency. Attendees will learn about automation, AI tools, and data-driven strategies. Additionally, experts will showcase case studies tailored to Duqm’s unique investment landscape.
Later, the second session will center on workforce adaptability. Organizers will discuss skill gaps, continuous learning, and talent retention. As industries evolve rapidly, workforce agility becomes essential in the Special Economic Zone.
On 19 August, the third session will examine trade and supply chains. It will highlight Duqm’s location as a hub linking Asia, Africa, and Europe. Moreover, speakers will present lessons from global disruptions and how Duqm-based companies managed challenges.
Finally, on 26 August, the last session will shift focus to workplace culture and mental health. Leaders will explore how supportive work environments drive employee retention and performance. Topics will include mental well-being and business sustainability.
These Duqm Summer Sessions aim to help companies adapt and thrive in a changing global economy. SEZAD sees them as a key part of Oman’s broader economic diversification plans. Through this initiative, SEZAD encourages innovation and inclusive development in Duqm.
In conclusion, Duqm continues to shape a forward-thinking ecosystem for international investment. With every session, it further strengthens its role as a strategic business destination.
