This year’s two-day meeting comes at the end of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The Information and Communications Technology Association
(Intaj) has worked since its founding to organize, and hold the forum every two
years.
HRH Princess Sumaya
president of the Royal Scientific Society, is scheduled to give a speech at the
forum. Other participants include 145 Jordanian, Arab, and international
speakers, ministers of communications and information technology from Egypt,
Iraq, Mauritania, and Palestine, government officials, and their counterparts
of the private sector, representing 29 countries.
Intaj completed preparations for the forum, which
will convene at the King Hussein Conference Center on the shoreline of the Dead
Sea, in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship,
the Central Bank of Jordan’s strategic partner and investment partner, the
Ministry of Investment, with the participation of 77 representatives of 50
investment funds from the region.
According to Intaj, the forum will discuss several
files during its sessions, the most important of which include artificial
intelligence, financial technology, smart industries, blockchain, and the
reality of metaverse.
Deliberations would touch on metaverse’s role in
providing space for entrepreneurs and start-ups from the region and beyond
through interactive and inspiring sessions and workshops designed to enhance
the range of business skills needed to accelerate the growth of their
companies, and providing them with the opportunity to meet and communicate with
investors, entrepreneurs and managers of local and international companies.
The forum’s agenda was published on the forum’s website, and
through the cellular application of its first two communication and information
technology segments, and the other related to the village of start-ups, to
allow sufficient time for all interested to familiarize themselves with it and
to arrange their times, and meetings according to the agenda.
