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.

FUTURE FUND OMAN COMMITS $1.2 BILLION AS $5.2 BILLION INVESTMENT PROGRAM ACCELERATES ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Robotin today announced the global hands‑on debut of the Robotin R2 Pro, the world's first fully modular robot carpet washer, vacuum, and mop. Already known to Kickstarter backers for its powerful vacuum and carpet‑washing capabilities, Robotin is surprising CES attendees with the reveal of a previously undisclosed Mopping function, now integrated into the Vacuum Module.
Robotin will showcase the R2 Pro at CES 2026, located at Venetian Expo, Eureka Park, Booth #62041 from January 6–9. Exclusive media previews will also be held at CES Unveiled (Jan 4) and Pepcom Digital Experience! (Jan 5).
This marks the first time the public can physically experience the R2 Pro's modular design. Powered by a 3‑stage automatic carpet washing and drying system, 115 AW suction, and AI perception navigation, the R2 Pro bridges the gap between everyday vacuuming and true deep‑carpet cleaning. The newly revealed wet‑mopping capability positions the R2 Pro as an all‑floor‑type cleaning solution.
A New Standard in Home Robotics
The Robotin R2 Pro introduces a new category of modular home‑cleaning robots.
- Carpet Wash & Dry Module
Automatically washes, rinses, and dries carpets—a breakthrough that delivers on the company's core Kickstarter promise. - Vacuum & Mop Module
A newly confirmed innovation featuring integrated wet‑mopping for hard floors, enabling seamless transitions between floor types. - Future Expansion
Robotin also teased its upcoming Robotic Arm Module, expected in 2027, highlighting the long‑term flexibility of the platform. - Core technologies include 115 AW suction, AI perception, and a self‑refilling/emptying station, which significantly reduce maintenance and operating time.
Why It Matters
The R2 Pro establishes a new benchmark for smart cleaning systems:
- Creates a new category of modular AI home robots
- Combines multiple devices into one flexible platform
- Cleans 400 sq ft of carpet in ~3 hours with automated washing and drying
- R2 Pro is an all in one solution for all surface including carpet and floor.
- Supports long‑term sustainability through upgradable modules rather than full device replacement
The R2 Pro also represents a step forward in smart‑home living:
- Defines the emerging "modular home cleaner" market segment
- Reduces physical strain and cleaning time
- Supports healthier home environments through automated deep cleaning
With its debut at CES 2026, Robotin marks a major milestone after its successful Kickstarter campaign, reinforcing its position as a pioneer in AI‑enabled household robotics.
