Techween, an investment programme promoted by Oman Technology Fund (OTF), held a demo-day at the Knowledge Oasis Muscat (KOM) for the 10 start-ups that have joined a 3-month training programme. Techween has invested in 10 Omani and regional tech start-ups (Adeeb, Datablock75, Envago, eShara, Mosamemat, Nihna, Peekaboo Guru, SilkFlow, TBD and TelyPay), currently in their seed stage.


The participant companies joined intensive training programmes in Oman and abroad in cooperation with Ireland’s NDRC institution. They received support and guidance in both tech and commercial fields dealing with many aspects such as developing products, approaching customers and pitching investors.


Such events are remarkably great for investors since the main goal is introducing investors to these trained companies that are fully ready to grow and attract investments.


Therefore, growth prospects and new markets will open up for the start-ups, said Techween in a press statement.


Techween held a training course in Ireland with NDRC that helped the start-ups in developing and expanding their businesses and gaining relevant experience and knowledge in order to enable them to enter the market and support the national economy. The first cohort of start-ups supported by Techween are as follows:
