Vardot Is Selected by MoDEE to Boost IT Business Development

The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship in Jordan announced Wednesday, July 28, that they have selected Vardot among other companies to help in business development, efficiency, and employment. The Jordan Growth Incentive Program (GrowJO) aims to help companies that are working in the field of technology, or using technology in their field of work, implement their business development plans and export their products and services to new markets by providing grants of up to $100,000 US dollars to cover 50% of the cost of these plans. This is done in order to stimulate digital companies to grow and create new job opportunities in the Jordanian digital economy.

The GrowJO Program is a key activity under the World Bank-funded (Youth, Technology and Jobs Project) and the Global Concessional Financing Facility. The program aims to harness the potential of developing Jordan's digital economy—by enhancing the availability of digital skills, improving job opportunities for Jordanian youth, and expanding services.

“The United Kingdom is pleased to work alongside the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship and the World Bank through its support for the Youth, Technology and Jobs project,” said the British Deputy Ambassador Richard Moon during the ceremony. He also noted that the Jordan Growth Incentives Program will enable the private sector in Jordan to implement development plans. This program will stimulate digital companies to grow, which will have a positive impact on the economy.

“Vardot is excited to be part of The GrowJO initiative, which will definitely have a favorable effect on the Information and Communication Technology sector and the Jordanian economy since the ICT sector contributes to around 12% of the kingdom’s GDP,” said Mohammad Azouqa, Vardot’s VP of Business Development.
