MUSCAT: In its ongoing commitment to empowering the Omani business community, the Royal Academy of Management (RAM) has announced the launch of its bespoke Startup Leadership Programme, a flagship initiative for 2025.
Designed specifically for startup founders and co-founders, the programme focuses on aligning leadership purpose with business strategy to drive sustainable growth.
Delivered in partnership with the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (Riyada), the programme will connect participants with regional and international experts and investors, equipping them to scale their ventures and compete globally.
Fifteen CEOs and co-founders of Omani tech startups will be competitively selected to join the programme. Eligible candidates must hold an executive role in a startup headquartered or primarily operating in Oman, with a minimum team size of five employees and demonstrable potential for sustainable growth and expansion.
The learning journey comprises four core modules emphasising strategic leadership, technical and operational skills; and human capital management.
Combining theory with practical application, the programme also features an international field visit to explore best global practices applicable to participants’ businesses.
Graduates of the programme will emerge with a strengthened global expansion mindset, enhanced leadership and technical expertise; and a comprehensive market-informed expansion plan.
Applications open from August 10 to 23, 2025. Interested startup CEOs and co-founders can register via the Royal Academy of Management’s official platform and website.
