Muscat – Oman Oil Marketing Company is announcing its final call to all prospective SMEs looking to participate in Tasweik. Launched with the full support of Al Raffd Fund, the unique initiative has been widely welcomed by the general public for providing eight select Omani entrepreneurs with the opportunity to win 8,000 OMR in funding for branding and marketing purposes. Participating SMEs can register by sharing their applications through: www.alraffd.gov.om or www.oomco.com.
Winners will be chosen based on their interview score, the clarity of their objectives, supporting evidence, and presentations. Candidates will be required to provide a complete overview of their SME project, plans, and their proposed usage of the funds.
