To reap this potential in Jordan, opportunities include unified eHealth records, ehealth exchange, telemedicine, Arabic content in health, health insurance exchange and records, and online booking for doctors. Building on the existing eHealth program, a particular niche will be the intersection of the Health sector, AI and the pharma industry powered by digital analytics capacity. - EDUCATION – Personalized and collaborative digital learning environments will revolutionize how education will be delivered globally. The latest advances in learning science, artificial intelligence, learning analytics, mobile platforms/services, and maker spaces, should enable this. Jordan will have a world-leading role in developing these types of solutions and platforms responding to the global need for scalable solutions that match 21st century skills demands. Jordan pioneered the adoption of ICT as a means to innovate education several years ago and should exploit this. In Jordan, there are opportunities around digital curricula, entrepreneurship and digital skills for kids in schools, makerspaces in education, and online education for refugees. - ENERGY & CLEANTECH – Jordan has an impressive history of dealing with scarce resources and creating livable urban environments in a desert environment. Jordan will take a leading role in “innovating towards zero”, testing energy efficient solutions in close collaboration with the construction industry, adopting smart mobility solutions and delivering optimized tech-enabled solutions for water resource management. To reap this benefit, Jordan should exploit that it has more than 300 sunny days per year for solar power energy. Other opportunities include energy storage solutions, energy management and monitoring, and smart cities/buildings and houses. - FINANCIAL SECTOR – Jordan possess the potential to become the regional FinTech hub, and can be at the forefront of delivering FinTech solutions and transforming industry areas like retail banking, investing, and peer-to-peer lending. - TRANSPORT – building on its smart city Amman initiative, Jordan will take a leading role in developing an effective digital transportation system, using for instance IoT sensors, Big Data and other new technologies. - COMMUNICATION AND SECURITY – Jordan has strong incentives to drive ICT-led security- related solutions and enable communications and connectivity in rural areas. Also, with the conflict in Syria and Iraq at its borders, Jordan will take a leading role in driving ICT led security-related solutions. In terms of security, with Jordan currently deploying smart IDs, this can include digital signatures as well for authentication into all applications. | REACH 2025 ACTION PLAN – ROADMAP TO EXCELLENCE
