Euromoney Conferences, a leading organiser of conferences for cross-border investment and capital markets, is returning to Amman, Jordan on April 25.

The annual financial conference was last held in Amman in 2012.

This year’s conference, titled ‘Finance for an Invigorated Economy’, will be held under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II and co-hosted by the Ministry of Finance.

The conference, supported by senior lead sponsor Arab Bank and co-sponsor, Jordan Kuwait Bank, will bring together 300 financiers, investors, business leaders, entrepreneurs and government officials to address the development of Jordan’s innovation economy.

This one-day conference will examine Jordan's economic outlook, exploring the macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges the country faces as well as assessing the role of the financial sector in the country's wider economic development. The conference will also address Jordan’s growing role as a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation in the region. Topics will include micro- and SME-financing and the development of the innovation and digital ecosystem in Jordan. Highlights of the upcoming event will include keynote addresses from Omar Malhas, Minister of Finance, and Eng. Imad Fakhoury, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation.

Victoria Behn, director of Middle East and Africa at Euromoney Conferences, said: “We are delighted to be returning to Amman to re-launch our annual event. We will bring together a high-level line-up of speakers, including financiers and some of Jordan’s most innovative and exciting start-ups and SMEs, to debate and discuss the impact that the innovation economy can have on Jordan’s economic development.”

The conference will be highly interactive and audience participation will be encouraged, with attendees invited to vote in the pre-conference poll, found on the event webpage.  The event will also feature a ‘Twitter Wall’ to allow the public to put their questions directly to the speakers. Interested participants will be able to join the debate and voice their opinions on the conference themes on Twitter, using the hashtag #emJordan. - TradeArabia News Service
