Industry leaders met Saturday in Jordan at the Tawasol Forum 2026 to discuss the country’s role in emerging technologies. Amjad Aryan of Beyond Limits explained that global knowledge is currently doubling every 24 hours due to AI. He urged Jordan to focus on AI as a core competency to compete internationally, shifting the focus from job replacement to AI as a problem-solving tool.

Maha Bahou, CEO of JoPACC, pointed to the success of the “CliQ” instant payment system as a model for building digital infrastructure. She also emphasized the importance of investing in human capital to avoid AI replacing routine jobs. Nour Al Hassan of Tarjama and Arabic.ai described her company’s growth from translation services to developing Arabic Large Language Models, relying on a network of over 35,000 annotators.

Oday Salamin of iMena Group noted that building tech companies now requires less capital but demands a global mindset. The speakers agreed that overcoming domestic limitations requires expansion into international markets, but the article does not detail specific plans for navigating regulatory hurdles.
