Dubai \u2013 The future of technology<\/strong> in Jordan is being built based on the education of young talents and programs to support startups, according to executives from the country who spoke in the Jordan<\/strong> Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship Forum (JOITED) in Dubai. The forum occurred this Monday (21) at Expo 2020 Dubai.<\/p>\n

Among the areas in which Jordan is gaining leadership are fintech and games, said Rana Abuzaid Qubain, general manager of Investment World for Development and Technology (IWDT). The specialist believes investment in education makes all the difference in both fields. \u201cWhen you work with quality and have the infrastructure, it works. Before, we had no data<\/strong>. For example, now we have the data and skills [to work with data] from javascript developers. And this year, undergraduate courses in these areas were approved. For companies, having this data with programs and trained professionals is important,\u201d Qubain said.<\/p>\n

As a result, demand for trained professionals from Jordan has grown, said Aiman Mazahreh, CEO of Specialized Technical Services (STS). \u201cCountries like the UK have demanded Jordanian talent because we have good courses and training. I think this is great news for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Youth and women<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruba Darwish, Jordan country manager of BMB Group, sees the growth of technology in the Levantine country involves a more effective inclusion of women in the market. \u201cWith the pandemic and remote jobs, I believe it is a great time to open up more for women to contribute as tech workforce. They are incredibly talented, and Jordan also has the potential to be the biggest country in the region in supporting young professionals<\/strong>,\u201d Darwish pointed out.<\/p>\n

Asked about possible partnerships with Brazilians, the executive said the possibilities are numerous. \u201cBrazil has a huge Arab community, and this is one of the key areas in which we can collaborate. I also think many partnerships can be made involving youth and innovation. Brazil has a lot of innovation, and it would be great to create something together with Jordan,\u201d said the BMB executive.<\/p>\n

Cyber security future<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although opportunities are great, the executive believes there is a significant gap in the number of resources used today to encourage the entry of women into the technology labor market and in general. \u201cIn cyber security, for example, there will be 3.5 billion job opportunities worldwide by 2025. Imagine if you used these resources to place competent women, as we have in Jordan, and give them a new opportunity?\u201d added Darwish.<\/p>\n

Security in the use of online data is also in Qubain\u2019s focus.<\/strong> \u201cFrom an industry-wide standpoint, cyber security is a priority. As well as artificial intelligence and how it will be used in data analysis and information optimization,\u201d said the general manager of the IWDT.<\/p>\n
