December 03, 2024 Jordan Source Partners with Atlantic Council to Launch the WIn Fellowship in the Kingdom

Jordan Source, a program under the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE), has proudly supported the launch of the Women Innovators (WIn) Fellowship in Jordan in partnership with the Atlantic Council. An event was held on 18th of November at the Arc in King Hussein Business Park to celebrate the launch and announce the recipients of the fellowship.

The WIn Fellowship is a year-long, fully sponsored program for women in the Middle East and North Africa, which aims to support women entrepreneurs in scaling their businesses, expanding their professional prospects, and enhancing their executive and leadership skills. The winning candidates will take part in a trip to the United States as part of the mentorship program, where they will engage with private sector executives and learn from international leaders, and meet government officials.

The 2-hour event, titled “The Role of Women-led Startups in Revitalizing Jordan’s Economy: Challenges and Opportunities,” featured keynotes by H.E. Yael Lempert, Ambassador of the United States to Jordan, and H.E. Dina Kawar, Ambassador of Jordan to the United States. It also included panel discussions by accomplished women that explored topics of entrepreneurship and economy, where Dana Darwish, Program Manager at Jordan Source, featured as a panelist in the discussion on “The State of Jordan’s Entrepreneurship Ecosystem.”

It is worth noting that Jordan Source’s participation comes as part of its mission to support Jordanian entrepreneurs locally and internationally, particularly empowering women in business. It aims to connect them with opportunities from all over the world, and position Jordan and its talent as leaders in their fields.
