Ammon News - Representative of the communications and information technology sector in Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC), Haitham Rawjbeh, said Jordan, with His Majesty King Abdullah II's support, succeeded in building a "strong and competitive" information and communication technologies (ICT) sector and attracted international companies.

The sector, he noted, enjoys the King's support and attention, which motivated ICT operating companies to expand and grow locally and export many of their services in the software field to many Arab and foreign countries, which created thousands of job opportunities for Jordanians.

In a statement on Saturday, he said ICT sector has "promising" opportunities, in light of Jordan’s infrastructure, resources and trained and qualified human competencies in the field.

Jordan, he noted, attracted and localized international companies to invest and carry out their operations in the Kingdom in the important strategic sector, thanks to the country's "great" developments and its continuous efforts to keep up with the accelerating events globally and regionally and Jordanian competencies working in this field.

ICT sector and entrepreneurship have made "great" achievements over the past years, as Jordan has become one of the most "advanced and prosperous countries in the region in this vital field," he pointed out.

Jordan is betting a lot on the ICT sector, which is growing annually, in providing more job opportunities for young people, supporting the national economy by shifting to the digital economy and attracting more international companies to open regional offices, he said.
