HAQQ Inc has entered into a strategic partnership with the National Omani Engineering and Investment Company (ONEIC), establishing a framework to expand legal artificial intelligence infrastructure in the Sultanate of Oman.
The partnership is anchored in a sovereign AI approach, ensuring that legal intelligence operates within national jurisdiction, regulatory control, and local data boundaries.
The partnership focuses on enabling compliant, enterprise-grade legal AI deployments in a highly regulated jurisdiction, addressing the growing demand for AI solutions that meet professional legal standards, regulatory oversight, and data residency requirements.

Under the MoU, HAQQ and ONEIC will explore collaboration across:
- Commercial distribution and system integration of HAQQ's legal AI platform in Oman
- Potential local deployment models, including hosting, managed services, and compliance-driven architectures
- Integration with enterprise systems and digital payment infrastructure
- Pilot deployments across government, enterprise, and legal sectors
- Sovereign AI deployment frameworks, including jurisdiction-bound data residency, regulatory oversight, and nationally governed AI operations
The agreement reflects HAQQ's broader strategy of entering new markets through institutional partnerships rather than direct-to-market software distribution.
Strategic Expansion in the Gulf
Oman represents a key market for legal AI adoption due to its regulatory maturity, emphasis on digital governance, and growing enterprise ecosystem. Partnering with ONEIC provides HAQQ with local execution capability, institutional access, and operational alignment required for long-term deployment.
This partnership positions Oman as an early mover in sovereign legal AI, where national institutions retain control over how AI is deployed, governed, and trusted.
"This partnership with ONEIC is a strategic step in HAQQ's regional expansion and reinforces our focus on building sovereign legal AI as infrastructure, not experimentation."
Antoine Kanaan
CEO of HAQQ Inc
"This collaboration aligns with ONEIC's mission to support national digital transformation through trusted, compliant, and scalable solutions. Exploring legal AI with HAQQ represents an important step toward enabling the legal and institutional sectors in Oman."
Dr. Rashid bin Mohammed bin Jumaa Al-Ghailani
CEO of ONEIC
