Selected ambassadors will receive comprehensive training to prepare them for their role in fostering digital literacy and helping communities adopt smart technologies and services, contributing to both improved quality of life and the growth of the digital economy.

A total of 66 ambassadors will be chosen from across Oman, categorized into three tiers: 'Initiator,' with basic digital transformation knowledge; 'Advanced,' with intermediate experience in areas like data analysis, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity; and 'Specialist,' possessing in-depth expertise and professional qualifications. These ambassadors will promote digital services, encourage the use of smart applications, and help integrate advanced technologies into everyday life.
