HE Hanandeh mentioned that although Jordan has a lack of data collection which means that it's hard to quantify the tech industry: how many workers in tech jobs and how many tech companies there really are; Jordan still remains one of the top countries in the region to excel in the IT field in relation to government automated services and IT related startups. He mentioned successful apps that support the gig economy - in turn creating jobs for thousands of people, especially during the pandemic.
