The visit, which was organised in coordination with Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI), aimed at highlighting the vision, objectives and services of NBC to the entrepreneurs.
The centre was launched by the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (PEIE) in 2013 to offer promising Omani entrepreneurs a platform to develop their business ideas and advance them into growing ventures.
Mulkie Al Hashmi, Director of Marketing at NBC, explained that the centre provides an ultimate platform for the Omani entrepreneurs by offering business development support and guidance, training and mentoring, access to markets and industry experts, and state-of-the-art and fully equipped office space, meeting rooms and presentation facilities.
