Philippe Mansour, CEO of Orange Jordan, highlighted the royal support for the telecom sector as a key factor in transforming the Kingdom into a regional technology hub. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Orange Group’s investment in Jordan, with a significant JD2 billion investment to strengthen the country’s IT infrastructure.
Mansour expressed pride in the renewal of the Public Telecommunications Individual License for an additional 15 years, emphasizing that the move reflects the trust Orange enjoys in Jordan and its commitment to placing customers at the heart of its operations. This customer-first approach is demonstrated through continuous improvements in network infrastructure, the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, and an expansion of the company’s geographical coverage.
The company has also focused on staying ahead in broadband services by enhancing its fiber network and expanding 5G coverage across Jordan. As part of its efforts to provide greater accessibility, Orange introduced a Digital Self-Registration Service with an eKYC system, allowing customers to authenticate prepaid mobile lines remotely.
Mansour celebrated 2024 as a remarkable year for Orange, marked by prestigious recognitions, including the EFQM Recognized Excellence certificate and a visit from His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah II to the Orange Digital Village in Aqaba. The company’s efforts in corporate social responsibility were also recognized with the Al Hussein Bin Abdullah II Award for Voluntary Work and the award for the Fastest Fixed Internet in Jordan by SpeedChecker.
In line with its ongoing commitment to gender equality, Orange Jordan continued to uphold the Gender Equality European & International Standard (GEEIS) certification. The company also achieved significant milestones, including the renewal of its agreement with the Jordanian Armed Forces – Arab Army and the inauguration of the environmentally-friendly Abdoun Flagship.
The launch of the company’s new slogan, “Orange is Here,” aligns with its mission to elevate the experiences of customers, partners, and communities. This slogan embodies the values of Orange’s community programs, which focus on empowering youth, women, entrepreneurs, and persons with disabilities to improve their digital skills and create new entrepreneurial ventures.
Orange Jordan’s Digital Skills Development Award from the MENA ICT Forum 2024 further reflects its ongoing contribution to advancing digital culture. Additionally, the company supported the startup ecosystem through its ‘BIG by Orange’ and AI Incubator programs, and showcased innovative projects at prominent events like the MENA ICT Forum and SOFEX 2024.
The Orange Coding Academy celebrated its fifth anniversary, having empowered 1,550 graduates, with 80% securing access to the labor market.
