Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship (QRCE) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Assintel (Italian Association of ICT Companies) on cooperation in the field of information and communications technology.

The MoU, which was signed on the sidelines of Jordan-Italian Business Forum held in Milan recently, stipulates that both sides provide training opportunities for their respective members, arrange visits of trade missions and organise trade fairs and promotion campaigns in order to proximate industrialists and investors in Jordan and Italy.

QRCE’s executive director Mohammad Khawaja, who signed the agreement on behalf of the Jordanian side, said the MoU underlines the importance of efforts planned by both sides to contribute to better trade ties among members of the two organisations.

He added: “This agreement falls within the vision of His Majesty King Abdullah to boost Jordan’s status on the advanced world’s ICT map.”

Khawaja indicated that through cooperation with Assintel and Milan Chamber of Commerce, QRCE seeks to connect Jordanian start-ups and SMEs with their Italian counterparts with a view to creating joint business opportunities that benefit both sides, which, he said, emphasised the importance of investment promotion within the proper technical frameworks and periodic exchange of literature on relevant laws and regulations in force in both countries. – TradeArabia News Service
