Satellite communications will be among the areas targeted by Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT) in a new national space solutions-focused initiative launched this week.

Designed to empower local startups to develop innovative space solutions and services, the initiative is called the Space Accelerators Programme.

According to local news resource Muscat Daily, this will be a one-year programme that aims to stimulate entrepreneurship in the space sector, attract investment in advanced technologies, and support the localisation and transfer of space services within the sultanate.

The programme will be implemented by Omani firm Ankaa Space and Technology Company in partnership with Exotopic, a UK-based firm specialising in accelerator initiatives. It will support ten Omani startups in developing commercially viable space technologies, while enhancing national capabilities in space innovation.

It will focus on high-impact sectors including satellite communications, Earth observation, geospatial analytics, navigation, artificial intelligence, drones, the Internet of Things (IoT), spacecraft simulation, and advanced computing.

The programme will include a comprehensive training curriculum covering technical and commercial aspects aimed at enhancing skills of local entrepreneurs. The top three performing startups will also receive incentives supporting long-term sustainability and growth of their ventures.

On broader level, local reports say that the programme also aligns with Oman’s goals of economic diversification and technological advancement.
