Higher Education Institutions and their role in advancing a knowledge-based economy

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in advancing the knowledge-based economy. They are a vital source of knowledge, skills, and innovation. HEIs need to continue to enhance and grow their roles to help push the limits of technology, advance social progress, and create tomorrow's jobs and economic opportunities. This conference aims to identify the significant contribution of HEIs to the knowledge-based economy, including the importance of cultivating the entrepreneurial mindset in students, developing digital platforms and tools in teaching, and producing high-quality research. The conference will invite decision-makers, experts, and researchers from within and outside the Sultanate of Oman and will present leading local and international experiences.
