We look to become the MIT of the Middle East, and through the establishment of the Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship, we are able to motivate a great resource for the future of the country - the Jordanian youth.'

From its perspective, and realizing the success the competition has achieved in its first term, JTG has decided to support the Queen Rania National Entrepreneurship Competition for the second year in a row.

'We would like to extend our deep gratitude to the Jordan Telecom Group for their sponsorship in the competition for the second consecutive year,' Mr. Khawaja added. We value their involvement and support, and we look forward to our future partnership in creating entrepreneurial opportunities within the Jordanian community.'
