Amman, July 27 (Petra) – Jordan Industrial Estates Corporation (JIEC)
organized a field visit Monday for ambassadors from ASEAN member
states to introduce them to the investment advantages and services of
the Zarqa Industrial Estate.

The envoys of Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, the
Philippines, and Thailand noted the strong relations between Jordan
and their countries.

They stressed the importance of arranging visits by economic
delegations from their countries to examine Jordan’s investment
environment, particularly at Zarqa Industrial Estate, noting its
infrastructure and investor incentives.

JIEC Chairman Obaid Yassin said the company is seeking to place Zarqa
Industrial Estate on local, Arab, and international investment
promotion platforms.

He said the visit builds on JIEC’s promotional efforts following His
Majesty the King’s recent visit to the estate and his directives to
promote it and provide incentives to attract investment.

The initiative also builds on Royal efforts to promote Jordan’s
investment environment during visits to several of the participating
countries and meetings with business leaders and investors, Yassin
added.

JIEC Director General Oday Obeidat said the company has attracted
eight industrial investments to Zarqa Industrial Estate across
several sectors and is preparing to launch a promotional campaign
targeting local and foreign markets.

Obeidat said Zarqa Industrial Estate is Jordan’s first green
industrial estate, incorporating advanced renewable energy solutions
and Internet of Things systems. He said the estate seeks to reduce
energy and water costs through rainwater-harvesting projects and the
provision of natural gas.

The estate’s first phase has been completed and incorporates
sustainable solutions, including solar power, electric vehicle
charging stations, green spaces, recycling systems, and
energy-efficient infrastructure.
