MUSCAT, MAY 27
A special booth of the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) at COMEX 2024 showcases its many initiatives to support smart city developments, digital transformation, and its plethora of electronic services.
OPAZ’s participation in the event also aims to highlight its outstanding projects and applications in the field of artificial intelligence. A number of OPAZ specialists are on hand to demonstrate an array of electronic services, including the Omap platform, the digital portal for integrated geographical maps that include all-inclusive data of masterplans for the special economic zones, free zones, and industrial cities overseen by OPAZ, in addition to the Enjazat system, which is an electronic platform that tracks the stages of implementation of all projects—strategic, operational, and event—that have been incorporated into the Authority's annual work plan.
Also featured at the OPAZ booth is the Internet of Things project, which is being implemented in the network control rooms at OPAZ building and the Centralised Compliance System “Eltizam”, which is set to be launched at COMEX. The Authority’s experience in AI applications, drone-based initiatives and 3D printing technology will be on display as well.
It is worth noting that the OPAZ won an award for 3D printing technology at COMEX Technology Awards 2023, for using 3D printing technology to build a commercial cafe and its annexes, as well as a residential unit with its annexes in the Fishermen Village in the tourist area of the Special Economic Zone at Duqm. This award is a testament to the Authority's efforts towards digital transformation through the creation of electronic programs and applications and the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies with the aim of streamlining procedures and offering investors quick, secure, and all-encompassing services.
OPAZ also recently won the Government Achievements Award at the Arab Digital Government Award 2023. This award is granted to Arab government entities that are distinguished for achieving innovative and effective digital applications and solutions to improve the quality of government services, increase beneficiary satisfaction, and enhance transparency.
