Crown Prince meets with entrepreneurs, executives of US technology companies

California, June 24 (Petra) — His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al
Hussein bin Abdullah II on Monday met with entrepreneurs and
executives of American technology companies in Silicon Valley,
California.

During a working dinner hosted by Amjad Masad, the Jordanian
entrepreneur and founder and CEO of Replit, the Crown Prince
highlighted the initiatives of the National Council for Future
Technology, which aim to improve the efficiency of government work in
the areas of public services, education, and innovation.

His Royal Highness noted that Jordan has become a regional hub for
global technology companies, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, and
Samsung, thanks to the Jordanian talent working in the technology
sector.

Discussions also covered the potential of opening new avenues of
cooperation with Jordan, given the Kingdom’s attractive investment
incentives, well-developed digital infrastructure, and large pool of
young local talent, which have led to its successful penetration of
global markets.

The attendees included representatives from companies operating in
key sectors such as artificial intelligence, fintech, advanced
software-as-a-service, intelligent engineering simulation systems,
and digital learning platforms.

Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Sami Smeirat,
Jordan’s Ambassador to the United States Dina Kawar, and Director of
the Office of the Crown Prince Zaid Baqain attended the meeting.
