MUSCAT, JULY 21 - To foster links between academia and industry, the first of its kind SAP Next-Gen-Lab in Oman was inaugurated at the German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech) in cooperation with SAP, one of the leading enterprise software corporations. The laboratory was launched by members of the Rectorate of GUtech and the SAP Country General Manager, Waheed al Hamaid and in the presence of a number of representatives from the industry in Oman and from the German Embassy.
