The Information and Communications Technology Association (ICTA) has pledged support for tech start-ups in Jordan through establishing a council for those founding such companies.<\/p>\n
Bashar Hawamdeh, Chairman of ICTA, said the new Jordan Tech Start-ups Leaders Council will contribute to overcoming the obstacles these companies face.<\/p>\n
These challenges include access to funding, meeting with local, regional and international investors and financial institutions, along with enhancing human capital.<\/p>\n
Hawamdeh added that the development will also support the exchange of knowledge and expertise among local, regional and international start-ups, as well as working closely to help start-ups in all of Jordan’s governorates work together.<\/p>\n
ICTA has launched several initiatives to support the entrepreneurial ecosystem since its establishment in 2000.<\/p>\n
It has started with amending its rules of procedure in order to exempt start-ups from membership fees in the first year.<\/p>\n
The organisation also launched the Blue Ocean Council and established public incubator Darat Al Reyada, in co-operation with Amman Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology.<\/p>\n
This is in addition to the 1000 Entrepreneurs National Initiative, which seeks to achieve one of the Royal Initiative REACH 2025 objectives, through promoting the work, co-operation and co-ordination between all supporting bodies in the entrepreneurship environment in the kingdom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
