Siemens reveals its contributions to Oman’s critical power, water and healthcare infrastructure

Through its operations across different sectors, Siemens represents 35% of Oman’s power generating capacity and 60% of distribution and transmission of electricity, ensuring that 4.7 million residents have access to power. When it comes to creating local jobs, 48% of Siemens’ workforce in the sultanate are Omani citizens, exceeding the minimum requirement of 30% for the private sector. Furthermore, 60% of Siemens local purchasing volume is allocated to 150 Omani companies. Siemens’ innovated building technologies are used in 90 landmarks across the country and 85% of hospitals. The delivery of 70% of Oman’s daily water supply is enabled by Siemens technology.
Digitalization is one of the Siemens’ key pillars, alongside electrification and automation, and is implemented across its portfolio. The company uses innovative digital technology to merge the physical and virtual worlds, harnessing data to create value for customers and to protect the planet. For example, Siemens supplies digital solutions for 90% of the wellheads in Oman and 65% of gas chromatographs, which are used to analyze and monitor emissions.
To ensure sustainable development while preserving the environment and to strike a balance between economic and social development, the Gulf Arab nation has outlined its plans for the future in the Oman Vision 2040. It focuses on reducing reliance on hydrocarbon exports, creating new employment opportunities for Omani nationals, and upgrading infrastructure to help the country become an industrial and trade hub. 
In this vein, Siemens has contributed to Oman Vision 2040 with its technology solutions across many sectors. And as part of giving back to society, contributing to knowledge transfer and developing local skills, Siemens launched a Graduate Program in Oman, donated STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education material that are used by 1300 school children a year, and established a Mechatronics Certification Program with the German University of Technology in Oman. 
These efforts demonstrate Siemens’ commitment to its strategic partnership with Oman and its support of the sultanate’s ambition to develop a diversified and flexible knowledge-based economy powered by skilled Omanis and strengthened by world-class talent.
