Commenting on the reason of the signing, Hassan Jaboub said, “Zubair SEC has proved its leadership of private sector institutions that provide services to developing Omani enterprises. We have similar objectives when it comes to providing practical services to emerging business owners. I am confident that this signing will be a great experience and a huge support in helping them achieve their goals. Additionally, it is also a great opportunity for our customers to get to know these enterprises and to try out high quality Omani products.”
The MoU stipulates the cooperation between the two parties towards the service of small business owners. As part of the agreement, MGM will invite members of Zubair SEC to all organised SME exhibitions and provide an open area for members’ exhibitions.

Mohammed Al Hasani said, “Zubair SEC specialises in providing comprehensive advisory and business development services to small Omani enterprises that are looking for an opportunity to prove their presence in the market. The number of members of the Centre has exceeded 900 small enterprises over the past few years, covering various business domains. Today, in collaboration with Tilal, we are taking a bigger step in this journey. The agreement allows members of the Centre to be a part of the mall and showcase and sell their products to a wide range of customers, alongside internationally renowned brands.
