Amman, July 2 (Petra) –Ministries of Digital Economy and
Entrepreneurship and Youth on Thursday signed a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) to develop and integrate Future Stations under
youth centers nationwide.

The step aims to empower youth digitally and enhance their
opportunities in innovation, entrepreneurship, and the digital
economy.

According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Digital Economy
and Entrepreneurship, the memo comes in implementation of the
Cabinet’s decision regarding the plan to integrate and develop Future
Stations and youth centers.

The move also reflects national directives to develop government
services, empower youth, and expand opportunities for quality
learning and training in the governorates.

The memo was signed by the Minister of Digital Economy and
Entrepreneurship, Sami Smirat, and the Minister of Youth, Dr. Raed
Adwan, in the presence of several officials from both ministries.

Talking at the signing ceremony, Smirat noted the memo’s importance
in expanding the impact of Future Stations and strengthening their
role in building the youth’s digital capabilities.

Smirat noted the ministry is working to develop “modern” training and
technological environments that enable youth to acquire the necessary
skills for the labor market.

He stated this MoU would expand access to digital training and
development programs in the governorates, and enhance youth
“readiness” in the areas of digital skills, artificial intelligence,
programming, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship, in line with the
goals of the Economic Modernization Vision and digital transformation
plans.

For his part, Adwan said the memo represents a “significant” step in
developing the services and programs offered to youth in youth
centers, which would be transformed into “modern and interactive”
spaces to meet the aspirations of young people and nurturing their
potential.

He pointed out that the Ministry of Youth is working to strengthen
the role of youth centers nationwide as incubators for young talent.

This vision, he noted, will be implemented through institutional
partnerships, which would develop programs, expand youth
participation, and empower young people with skills that enhance
their contribution to national development.

Under the memo, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship
will develop, equip, and operate the Future Stations, and provide
technical and technological support and ad hoc training programs.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Youth will provide suitable facilities and
spaces within its centers and support youth access to the implemented
programs and activities.

The memo features the operation and development of Future Stations
within the Ministry of Youth facilities.
