Description
This opportunity, offered by the U.S. Mission to Jordan, funds a comprehensive program designed to strengthen the capacity of Jordanian entrepreneurs—particularly those leading scalable, growth-stage businesses in priority sectors—to enter and invest in the U.S. market. The program is structured in two phases: a 10-week readiness training in Jordan for 15 entrepreneurs, followed by a three-week U.S. market engagement for five selected finalists, including participation in the 2027 SelectUSA Investment Summit. The initiative aims to enhance participants’ knowledge, networks, and commercial readiness to establish a U.S. presence, attract customers, and develop business partnerships, thereby deepening long-term economic ties between the U.S. and Jordan.
