Ooredoo Signs MoU with Al Raffd Fund to Enhance the Efficiency of 621 Sanad Service Centres across Oman

Mobilk - Reflecting its commitment to support the growth and development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Oman, Ooredoo signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Al Raffd Fund for internet services for the Fund’s 621 Sanad Service Centres across Oman. Under the agreement, the packages will offer the Centres greater connection speeds and a cost-effective range of business services, among other benefits. 

Greg Young, CEO of Ooredoo, said “SMEs make up almost 90% of Oman’s burgeoning business sector, making it vital that we provide them with the products, services, and support they need to continue to thrive and support the nation’s development. With that in mind, we developed two special packages to help the Sanad Service Centres increase their productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness as they continue supporting Al Raffd Fund and other SMEs throughout Oman.”

Established in 2013 on the order from His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Al Raffd Fund aims to empower Omani youth with the means to establish their own projects. To date, the initiative has 1,662 listed SMEs which have in turn created over 3,000 jobs for Omanis.

Tariq Al Farsi, CEO of Al Raffd said, “Ooredoo’s high-value business products and services are perfectly suited to providing our Centers with the technical capabilities they need to continue operating at the highest performance levels. Agreements like these are important for SMEs in Oman to receive the support they need and through them, the sector will continue leading the way in Oman’s economic development.”
