USAID’s Business Growth Activity, is organizing the participation of 18 local
industrial companies from several industrial sectors in the Gulf Industrial
Fair (GIF), the Jordan News Agency, Petra reported.اضافة اعلان
The fair is set to begin in Dubai on Tuesday.
Jordanian companies participating will include some working
in Arab desserts, dates, chocolate, chips, nuts, Dead Sea products, and raw
materials used in manufacturing chocolate, paper, plastic, and industrial
machinery.
The three-day event will also include other exhibitions for
private brands, foodstuffs, and raw manufacturing substances.
In a statement Saturday, JEA head, Ahmed Khudari, said GIF
constitutes a "strong" opportunity for Jordanian industrial companies
to promote their products and strike commercial partnerships.
The JEA, he noted, seeks to enable Jordanian companies to
learn about the latest manufacturing technologies through their participation
in the fair.
Stimulating Jordanian industrial exports, he said, is a
"key enabling" factor for achieving Jordan's economic growth by
increasing production and investment in the industrial sector, which
contributes to providing more job opportunities and enhancing the Kingdom's
foreign currency reserves.
By expanding programs to support participation in foreign
exhibitions, which are viewed as global trade platforms and the "most
effective" way to promote Jordanian industry, according to Khudari, Jordan
can secure entry into new markets and maintain the momentum gained by local
companies in export markets during the past years.
The Jordanian pavilion in the fair stands at 526sq.m., said
JEA Director General Halim Abu Rahma.
USAID Business Growth Activity supported some start-ups and
small and medium-sized companies that meet the conditions to obtain its
assistance to participate in the fair.
