'With a well-established energy industry and a growing non-oil sector, Oman presents an exciting opportunity for Siemens to support diversification and drive the digital transformation,' said Massei. 'I greatly look forward to strengthening our business, working with our existing and new partners and developing local talents for the mutual benefit of Siemens and Oman.'
