Templewater to allocate 50% of its fund size to investments in Oman

According to the Times of Oman, Templewater, a Hong Kong-based private equity firm, has announced plans to allocate 50 percent of its fund size toward investments within the Sultanate of Oman. The initiative follows a formal investment agreement signed in partnership with the Oman Investment Authority (OIA) and Hong Kong’s Innovation and Technology Commission.

The strategic partnership is designed to bolster economic cooperation between Oman and Hong Kong, with a specific focus on innovation and technology sectors.
