The Crown Prince, while chairing a meeting of the National Council for Future Technology on Monday, directed the council to enhance Jordan’s scientific research and innovation ecosystem, emphasizing the need to prioritize research and leverage national competencies to boost investments.
Speaking to the Jordan News Agency (Petra), Al-Rawajbeh noted that focusing on the scientific research and innovation ecosystem is a fundamental pillar for supporting the growth of the digital economy and stimulating high-quality investments in the sector.
He explained that prioritizing research and utilizing national scientific institutions helps align research outcomes with market needs. This, in turn, empowers the ICT sector to provide innovative solutions that enhance the competitiveness of the national economy and enable local tech companies to scale and grow.
Al-Rawajbeh also highlighted that directives concerning the development of government digital services—specifically the updated versions of the "Sanad" app—mark a significant step toward streamlining procedures and enhancing user experience, thereby accelerating digital transformation for both citizens and the business sector.
Furthermore, he commended the Crown Prince’s commitment to fostering an environment supportive of entrepreneurship. He emphasized that digital transformation projects, such as the digital signature initiative, represent a qualitative leap in modernizing the technological infrastructure, boosting investor confidence, and supporting efforts to build a sustainable, knowledge-based digital economy.
