- Open — Omantel’s own Innovation Labs page states “Omantel Accelerator Cohort 9 Application will be closed on 09/01/2027” (9 January 2027; the same block dates a neighbouring item 27/09/2026, so the format is day/month/year). The F6S cohort-9 link Omantel itself publishes still redirects to Omantel Innovation Labs’ general F6S profile rather than to a cohort application (checked September 2026)
What the source says
“The Omantel Accelerator Program is open to all startups from Oman and outside, provided that non-Omani startups have an executable Omani angle.”
