The Sultanate of Oman is considered as one of the fastest-growing countries in terms of infrastructure development. The country’s five-year plan and Vision 2040 program outline the roadmap to diversifying the economy through increased government spending on key non-oil sectors and stimulating private investments in various sectors including the construction industry.
Oman has become a sought-after destination for investment, buoyed by its dynamic construction market that is expected to witness a 6% CAGR between 2019 and 2024.
Project Oman, the International Construction Technology, Infrastructure and Building Materials Exhibition, is the latest addition to IFP Group’s “Project Series” comprising premier construction exhibitions across the Middle East and Africa. The exhibition underlines investment opportunities in Oman and optimizes international trade relations and business partnerships.
