The “Jordan ICT Forum”

Is a bi-annual international ICT industry event held in Jordan under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, and is the platform to showcase Jordan's efforts and achievements to position the country as a major player in the Information revolution.

Jordan ICT Forum 2000

Held for the first time in March 2000, the forum attracted an extensive number of international and local industry stakeholders to discuss related issues, network, and establish business ties and contacts.  During this forum, Jordan presented its plans to develop its ICT industry to the audience, and solicited feedback and input.
