Synopsis

The U.S. Embassy Amman, U.S. Department of State, announces an open competition to implement a program to strengthen the capacity of Jordanian entrepreneurs to invest in the U.S. 

market through SelectUSA programs including the SelectUSA Investment Summit, SelectUSA Tech, and Select Global Women in Tech. SelectUSA and the SelectUSA Investment Summit and 

programs are U.S. Department of Commerce-led initiatives that promote investment in the United States.


This program will develop a cohort of 15 Jordan-based entrepreneurs working in U.S. priority sectors through a two-phase readiness program. The first phase consists of a 10-week training program to enhance participants’ success in engaging with U.S. markets, including market entry strategies, business practices, partnership development, and overall commercial readiness. 

The second phase includes a three-week investment promotion visit to the United States for five of the entrepreneurs who succeed in a competition at the end of the 10-week training. This 

smaller cohort will participate in the 2027 SelectUSA Investment Summit and engage in official tech-focused spin-off events.


The program will provide participants with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to attract customers, establish a U.S. commercial presence, develop partnerships, and pursue business 

opportunities in the United States. By strengthening entrepreneurs’ understanding of the U.S. market, this initiative will advance U.S. economic leadership, support private sector growth, and 

strengthen long-term commercial ties between the United States and Jordan.


Applications are accepted via email only to ammangrants@state.gov. Applications submitted via grants.gov will not be accepted.
