Zubair Edc

The Zubair Enterprises Development Centre (Zubair EDC) is one of the initiatives which emanated from The Zubair Corporation’s Social Responsibility strategic vision towards the Omani society. The vision reflects the group’s belief in the importance of small enterprises (EDC) in enhancing national economy and contributing to sustainable socio-economic development. Established in 2013, Zubair EDC is envisioned to be more than an incubator for small businesses. It is a professional body that capitalises on its high professionalism, diversified knowledge, wide range of accumulated expertise, and its own global and local network and strategic partners. Zubair EDC also builds on The Zubair Corporation’s strengths to lead positive change in the local business environment, which supports small businesses and promising initiatives in the Sultanate.
