28 Jan 2026 CW Team

Ominvest has concluded its participation in the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026, held recently in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, reaffirming its commitment to constructive global economic dialogue and sustainable, long-term growth across Oman and the wider Gulf region.

Held under the theme ‘A Spirit of Dialogue’, the Annual Meeting convened global leaders from government, business, civil society and academia to address shared economic challenges and promote collaborative solutions to strengthen global resilience. Ominvest’s engagement reflected its belief that open dialogue plays a critical role in aligning perspectives, exchanging expertise and shaping future-ready economic and investment frameworks.

A key highlight of Ominvest’s participation was the publication of a thought leadership 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 perspective on the strategic importance of cooperation within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and its relevance to global economic integration.

The article examines how the GCC’s approach to cross-border collaboration, policy alignment and public–private partnerships has strengthened economic resilience and supported long-term value creation. It also highlights how this cooperative framework offers scalable and practical insights for other regions navigating supply-chain disruptions, evolving geopolitical dynamics and the transition towards a multipolar global economy.

The inclusion of Ominvest’s insights in the WEF agenda underscores the Group’s expanding role in regional and global economic discourse, reflecting its focus on contributing experience-driven, actionable perspectives on international platforms.
