The Global Data & AI Virtual Tech Conference 2025 in Amman, organized by Jordan’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, focuses on empowering education and expanding AI innovation in the public sector. It emphasizes AI’s role in reshaping economies, governments, and service delivery to support sustainable development.
Jordan has activated over 1.6 million digital identities through the Sanad app, integrated with IrisGuard biometrics. This initiative is part of the country’s push for full digitalization of government services, aiming for 3.5 million activated digital IDs this year. However, a World Bank report suggests improvements are needed in security and trust.
Orange Jordan hosted the Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Eng. Sami Smeirat, to reinforce their long-standing partnership. The visit highlighted Orange’s role in advancing Jordan’s digital transformation and its contributions to the national economy and entrepreneurship, with future plans for further initiatives in digitization.
