During the last decade the Jordanian economy has become a regional innovation hub, developing a robust technology sector and both raising the profile of entrepreneurship in the Middle East and drawing the notice of international investors. Partners for a New Beginning at the Aspen Institute invites you to a roundtable discussion with Jordan’s top business leaders focused on both the accomplishments and challenges of Jordan’s private sector. This event will catalyze a dialogue about the role of the private sector, and international partners, in driving economic growth, particularly in the areas of entrepreneurship and tech innovation.
