Applications are currently open for the American Prosperity: Foreign Investment Readiness Program. This initiative is designed to support 15 Jordanian entrepreneurs from high-impact sectors such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Health Innovation, Agri-Tech, and Advanced Manufacturing.
The program aims to build on the participants’ existing capabilities and prepare them for successful engagement with the U.S. market. It consists of a two-phased readiness training approach that encourages business growth and facilitates partnerships with American companies.
A total funding of $500,000 has been allocated for the program. Grants will range between $200,000 and $500,000, and the performance period for selected projects is expected to last between 10 to 12 months.
By the end of phase one, 90 percent of participants are expected to have a strong understanding of U.S. market opportunities. All selected startups are anticipated to complete a 10-week training program, during which they will learn essential strategies for entering the U.S. market.
Eighty percent of the participants are expected to refine their business models and value propositions to become more attractive to U.S. investors. Additionally, 75 percent of them should successfully pitch their businesses to a panel of U.S.-based business professionals, investors, or accelerators during a pre-pitching event.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and Jordanian not-for-profit organizations, such as think tanks, civil society groups, and educational institutions. Both public and private educational entities may apply to implement the program.
