According to the reports, both parties discussed current initiatives and future plans, identifying relevant areas of mutual interest where research, industrial, and technological cooperation could be increased in order to promote investments, technology transfer, and a long-term growth pattern.
The positive collaboration already underway between the Sultanate and Italian companies in the energy sector and the possibilities emerging from the shared interest of the two countries to the development of clean energy technology makes the way to new projects and investments, as per the statement.
Further, the webinar demonstrated to the Italian investors how Oman has become a growing interest platform for the hydrogen industry and renewable energies. According to the reports, “Italy is in the forefront of international collaboration for emissions reduction and the quest for alternative energy supply sources and is eager to be Oman’s technological partner.”
