About MAJAN Council

Empowering the Gulf with innovative insights and actionable strategies, the Majan Council drives the region’s future through cutting-edge research, local expertise, and global collaboration.

Overview

The Majan Council for Foresight, Strategic Affairs, and Energy (formerly the Majan Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, MCREEE), standing out as the Gulf’s first Think and Do Tank, uniquely bridges cutting-edge applied research with practical decision-support and project implementation for policymakers and business leaders. Rooted in local expertise and identity, the Majan Council is a proud Omani enterprise based in Muscat, dedicated to leveraging local knowledge and collective decision-support to drive development, advancement, and innovation across the GCC.

We empower policymakers, business leaders, and societies with actionable insights and foresight on emerging issues, providing them with the strategies they need to navigate the future. With an extensive international network, the Majan Council collaborates with representatives from leading think tanks, decision-makers, and institutions worldwide, enhancing its global perspective.

Founded in 2023, the Majan Council draws on decades of collective expertise from a diverse group of renowned global experts and leaders. Our innovative dual format combines the depth of a non-profit research centre with the agility of a for-profit advisory firm, enabling a flexible and impactful approach to our initiatives.

We adopt an interdisciplinary standard in our research and solutions, tackling energy and sustainable development challenges through technological, economic, geopolitical, and other lenses. Additionally, the Majan Council is committed to innovation with realism, taking a forward-looking yet technology-agnostic stance towards the future of energy and beyond, ensuring our solutions are both visionary and practical.
