Muscat, Oman
The future runs on fiber and Ooredoo is helping lead the region’s digital infrastructure. As a Platinum Sponsor of Fiber Connect Council MENA (FCC MENA) 2026, Ooredoo took part in the event held in Oman for the first time under the theme ‘The Role of Carriers in Enabling AI Fiber Infrastructure’.
Saoud Al Riyami, CEO of Ooredoo said: “Ooredoo is proud to join the Fiber Connect Council MENA in Muscat, as we work together toward a fiber powered future. This conference highlights the region’s serious commitment to advancing digital infrastructure, and we believe fiber is the cornerstone of making digital services more reliable, scalable, and future proof. By investing in these foundations today, we are shaping the competitiveness of our region for the next decade and beyond, ensuring that homes, enterprises, and national institutions can thrive in the digital economy.”
FCC MENA 2026 attracted more than 270 industry leaders from across the region. It brought together policymakers, regulators, telecom operators and technology partners to explore how fiber networks enable next-generation services. With AI pushing digital demand, the need is surging for high-speed, low-latency infrastructure that can support data-heavy ecosystems at scale.
Through its Platinum Sponsorship, Ooredoo championed industry collaboration and knowledge exchange. The focus: resilient, AI fiber foundations that accelerate national digital transformation. This, in turn, connects communities, empowers businesses and prepares networks for emerging technologies.
