OmanInter Astra
A commercial bridge between two old friends, built in both directions.
American companies looking to Oman. Omani companies looking to America. We put them at one table and keep the conversation going after everyone goes home.
Gateway
Morning in Washington at the Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center. Afternoon into evening in Muscat. 40 to 50 leaders in the room, with more joining by video. Curated, apply to attend.
Spring Gathering
Three days at one table. A salon-style, not-for-attribution gathering, curated to meet the moment for the people in the room. The on-site gathering sets the stage for focused follow-on site visits, and for next steps with names attached.
