Mr. Mohammad Obaidat, Director of QRCE, explained that the competition targets unregistered projects with a business model or plan, as well as startups under one year old. Finalists will receive full incubation services to help grow their companies, along with financial support for the winners.
Eng. Serene Duwayri, Director of Incubation at iPARK, highlighted the importance of supporting entrepreneurship to strengthen the national economy and create opportunities for Jordanian youth. She added that iPARK’s participation for the third year in a row shows their commitment to empowering entrepreneurs.
