MUSCAT, Oman, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Future Fund Oman announced record activity in 2025, approving 141 projects this year and lifting total commitments to $1.2 billion as the fund accelerates Oman's economic diversification agenda. Established by Oman Investment Authority with a capital commitment of $5.2 billion to be deployed over five years, the fund is now one of the region's fastest-expanding national investment vehicles, with all capital directed toward projects inside Oman and aligned with the priorities of Oman Vision 2040.
Investment activity has drawn growing private-sector participation from the United States, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, China, and India. To date, Future Fund Oman has mobilized approximately $2.1 billion in additional private and foreign capital, including eight large-scale projects developed alongside global investors, banks, funds, and family offices. The fund said the rising leverage ratio reflects strengthening international confidence in Oman's industrial, manufacturing, and clean energy ambitions.
Job creation remains a key performance indicator. Projects approved since launch have generated more than 1,400 jobs, with thousands more in progress. Investments span five national priority clusters , energy transition, advanced materials, healthcare, logistics, and information and communications technology, reinforcing the fund's role in shaping the country's next phase of economic growth.
Flagship developments include a $1.6 billion solar-grade polysilicon manufacturing facility by United Solar, scheduled for completion in 2026. The project has already supported over 1,000 jobs and delivered more than $317 million in in-country value, while also attracting interest from international development finance institutions. Another major project is JA Solar's six-gigawatt solar cell manufacturing complex in the SOHAR Port and Freezone, a $442 million investment nearing key construction milestones. Once operational, the facility is expected to employ more than 500 people and expand Oman's foothold in regional clean energy supply chains.
Momentum also continues under the fund's SME and venture capital mandate. Since inception, 132 SME and VC projects have been approved, with $56.7 million committed and $37.4 million deployed through eight specialized vehicles covering pre-seed, seed, growth equity, and SME debt. Application volumes remain strong across both mandates, driven by sustained domestic and international interest in projects linked to industrial modernization, technology development, and clean energy.
Since launch, the fund has assessed 828 proposals and approved 141 projects valued at around $3.4 billion, spanning nine major strategic investments and 132 SME and venture capital initiatives. Its dual mandate guides capital toward both large national projects and smaller high-growth businesses, with a targeted 12 percent return and a 40 percent equity ceiling per investment.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has completed a comprehensive AI product upgrade with the official launch of the industry's first fully free and open trading agent: AI Strategy. This marks the evolution of MEXC AI from a decision-support tool into an autonomous trading agent capable of understanding user intent and independently executing trades, creating a complete end-to-end trading workflow.
In traditional trading, every step, from identifying opportunities to executing trades, requires manual involvement, making the process both time-consuming and highly susceptible to emotional decision-making. MEXC AI Strategy redefines this workflow. Users simply express their ideas, while the AI handles intent analysis, strategy generation, continuous market monitoring, and automated execution. MEXC AI Strategy offers three key highlights:
Generate Complex Strategies with Natural Language
Users no longer need quantitative trading expertise or coding skills. By simply chatting with MEXC AI, they can create personalized trading strategies tailored to their own preferences. The system supports not only common technical indicators, but also complex conditional strategies across multiple platforms and data sources. For example, users can set instructions such as: "Go long when ETH breaks out of a bilateral pattern, with an 8% take-profit target," or "Go long when Elon Musk posts on X and the token price rises." The AI can automatically understand the intent and generate the corresponding strategy.
Real-Time Social Media Monitoring to Capture Opportunities Faster
In news-driven markets, information asymmetry often determines profit and loss. MEXC AI Strategy can monitor real-time signals from social platforms such as X, continuously tracking influential figures and market sentiment. Strategies can be triggered within seconds after relevant events occur, helping users seize market opportunities at the earliest possible moment.
24/7 Automated Market Monitoring, Free for Everyone
Powered by integration with leading AI models, MEXC AI Strategy continuously monitors and executes trades around the clock, allowing users to stay active in the market without constantly watching charts. The feature is also fully open and free to use, enabling anyone to access AI-powered automated trading with zero barriers to entry.
For detailed guides and FAQs, please visit MEXC Learn.
With this latest upgrade, the MEXC AI product ecosystem has become even more comprehensive. The platform's Smart Chart displays AI-powered price predictions, probability-of-rise indicators, and upcoming event alerts directly beneath candlestick charts, transforming market analysis that users previously had to piece together themselves into structured, actionable insights. The AI Consultant provides personalized recommendations based on users' actual portfolio positions, while AI Strategy converts users' market views directly into executable strategies and automated orders. Together, the three features cover the complete trading workflow: from discovery to analysis and finally to execution.
Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC, said:
"Zero-fee trading removed the cost barrier to trading, while MEXC AI is removing an even more critical barrier: execution. While much of the industry focuses AI capabilities on professional infrastructure, MEXC has chosen to start from the real workflows of everyday traders, truly understanding user intent and helping them execute more efficiently. The goal of MEXC AI is to ensure that every opportunity users recognize can actually be captured, delivering on our promise of "Infinite Opportunities."
In the first quarter of 2026, MEXC AI-related features recorded approximately 140,000 daily active users, while cumulative quarterly active users surpassed 1.04 million, reflecting growing market demand for AI-powered trading assistance tools. Users can now log in through the official MEXC website or app to experience the latest MEXC AI landing page.
