SmartSpot Oman is an intelligent platform designed to help entrepreneurs and investors in the Sultanate of Oman choose the most suitable location for their projects by analyzing open data and presenting it in an easy and interactive way. The platform relies on multiple sources from the National Open Data Portal. It uses data on registered companies by governorate and sector issued by the Public Authority for Projects, Tenders and Local Content to identify business density and commercial competition in each area. It also uses data on visitors to the Jebel Akhdar from 2009 to March 2025 issued by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism to measure tourism activity in the Jebel Akhdar. In addition, it uses data on tourism activity institutions in Oman issued by the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority to determine the size of the tourism sector and the available opportunities.

The platform further uses data on the number of licensed activities in commercial registers during 2025 issued by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion to analyze market growth and recent commercial activity, as well as data on visitors to Salalah during the Khareef season from 2009 to 2024 issued by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism to assess seasonal tourism demand. Moreover, it incorporates data on categorized restaurants, cafés, and tourist shops up to December 2025 issued by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism to identify the level of competition in the food and tourism services sector. It also uses data on all students in the Ministry of Education for 2024 issued by the Ministry of Education to understand educational density and the areas that may need services and projects targeted at students and families.

Based on these data, the platform provides an interactive map and analytical indicators that help users compare governorates and wilayats and select the best project location according to business density, tourism demand, competition level, and the size of the target segment.
