Muscat, Oman – 27 January 2026:
Oman International Development and Investment Company S.A.O.G (Ominvest), a leading investment firm in the Gulf region, successfully concluded its participation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026, held from 19 to 23 January in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. The Group’s engagement reaffirms its commitment to fostering constructive global economic dialogue and advancing sustainable, long-term growth in Oman and the wider Gulf region.
The WEF Annual Meeting 2026, conducted under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue,” brought together global leaders from government, business, civil society, and academia to address shared economic and societal challenges, and to explore collaborative solutions that enhance resilience and growth. Ominvest’s participation underscores its belief in open dialogue as a vital mechanism for aligning perspectives, exchanging knowledge, and shaping future-ready economic and investment models.
A highlight of Ominvest’s presence at Davos was the publication of its article in the official WEF Annual Meeting 2026 agenda, marking a first for the Group. Titled “The GCC Model of Cooperation,” the article outlines Ominvest’s vision on the strategic value of regional cooperation frameworks within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and their relevance to global economic integration.
The article explores how the GCC’s collaborative approach—fostering cross-border partnerships, aligning policy priorities, and strengthening public-private cooperation—has bolstered economic resilience and created long-term value. It further demonstrates how the GCC’s model offers scalable, practical insights for other regions navigating global economic uncertainties, supply chain disruptions, and the shift toward a multipolar world.
By contributing thought leadership to the WEF agenda, Ominvest reinforces its growing influence in shaping regional and international economic discourse. The Group’s participation highlights its commitment to sharing actionable, experience-driven perspectives on global platforms, moving beyond traditional representation toward meaningful intellectual engagement.
