Manama:Beyon Connect, a subsidiary of the Beyon Group, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PhazeRo, an Omani technology firm specializing in artificial intelligence, data science, and software engineering. The MoU was signed to enhance cooperation between the two companies to explore the delivery of digital trust solutions in Oman and throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
According to Bahrain News Agency, the agreement was announced during the Gateway Gulf 2026 event in Bahrain, which took place on November 1 and 2, in the presence of Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Chairman of Beyon Group. The MoU establishes a framework for both companies to capitalize on the growing demand for secure digital identity solutions, electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) services, and other digital trust services across the region.
The collaboration combines PhazeRo's technical expertise and market presence in Oman with Beyon Connect's proficiency in developing digital identity solutions and trusted digital services. Initially, the focus will be on exploring opportunities in Oman, with plans to identify potential applications for digital trust solutions in other GCC markets.
A significant aspect of the partnership is Beyon Connect's OneID platform, a sophisticated digital identity and eKYC platform that enables secure identity verification and authentication. OneID is designed for flexible deployment and adaptation to meet varying market and organizational needs, providing a solid foundation for governments and businesses aiming to deliver secure digital services.
Shaikh Mohamed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, CEO of Beyon Digital Growth and Chairman of Beyon Connect, emphasized the importance of trusted digital infrastructure in advancing digital economies in the region. He noted that the collaboration with PhazeRo provides an opportunity to introduce Beyon Connect's digital identity capabilities to new markets, starting with Oman, while exploring further opportunities across the GCC.
Masoud Al Rawahi, Founder and CEO of PhazeRo, highlighted the increasing interest among Gulf organizations in leveraging technology to address business challenges and enhance service delivery. He pointed out that secure digital identity plays a crucial role as more services transition online, and the partnership with Beyon Connect brings established digital trust capabilities to the solutions being developed in the market, with potential for expansion throughout the region.
