The landscape of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is shifting. Following the successful conclusion of the 2021–2025 strategy, the Cabinet has officially approved the Jordanian Digital Transformation Strategy and Implementation Plan (2026–2028).1
This isn’t just an administrative update; it is a bold declaration of Jordan’s intent to become a regional hub for technology and innovation.2 For businesses, this strategy represents a $JD\ Millions$ opportunity to modernize, comply, and lead.
1. The Vision: Digitally Empowered and Secure
The core vision of the 2026–2028 strategy is to build a “Digitally Empowered and Secure Jordan.” This vision is built upon three modernization pillars:3
Economic Modernization Vision: Driving GDP growth through tech.
Public Sector Modernization: Making government “proactive” rather than “reactive.”
Political Modernization: Enhancing transparency through open data.
2. Key Pillars of the 2026–2028 Strategy
The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) has identified seven strategic goals that will define the next three years:
A. Advanced Digital Infrastructure (5G & Fiber)4
The strategy prioritizes the completion of the National Broadband Network (NBN) and the full commercial rollout of 5G. This infrastructure is the backbone for Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart City initiatives in Amman and Aqaba.
B. Smart & Unified Government Services
The goal is “Digital by Design.”5 The Sanad App will evolve from a document viewer into a proactive assistant. The “Once Only” principle will be enforced—meaning citizens and businesses will only have to provide their data to the government once.
C. A Comprehensive National Digital Economy
This pillar focuses on fostering startups and SMEs. By digitizing the JoFotara e-invoicing system and integrating digital payments across all sectors, Jordan aims to reduce the “shadow economy” and increase financial inclusion.
D. National Data Governance & PDPL
With the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) now in full effect, the 2026–2028 strategy focuses on “Digital Trust.” This includes the activation of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for secure electronic signatures.
3. The 57 Strategic Projects: What to Expect
The strategy includes an integrated plan of 57 high-impact projects.6 Key highlights for the business sector include:
Digital Identity & E-Signature: Mass adoption of digital signatures for legal and commercial contracts.
Green Data Centers: A push for sustainable, localized cloud hosting (Geopatriation).
AI & Emerging Technologies: Implementing AI in health, education, and tax inspection.
The “Aqaba Digital Hub”: Positioning Jordan as a cross-continental digital bridge.
| Sector | Key Focus Area (2026-2028) | Impact on Business |
| Education | BTEC & Digital Assessment | Demand for MEDU-style School ERPs |
| Finance | JoFotara & Digital Payments | Mandatory API-based Accounting |
| Healthcare | National Health Info Exchange | Universal Digital Patient Records |
| Security | National Cybersecurity Center (NCSC) | Strict Audit Requirements for IT Firms |
4. Why “Local Expertise” is the 2026 Competitive Advantage
As the government moves toward “Digital Sovereignty,” international “one-size-fits-all” software is struggling. Companies like Mozon Tech are essential because:
Compliance: We are already synced with the ISTD (JoFotara) and PDPL legal frameworks.
Infrastructure: We leverage the local fiber and 5G networks to provide low-latency cloud solutions.
Language & Culture: Our systems are designed “Arabic-First” for the local workforce.
5. Conclusion: Is Your Business Ready?
The 2026–2028 strategy is an open invitation for the private sector to innovate.7 Whether it is through adopting Agentic AI or ensuring your school is BTEC-compliant, the window to lead Jordan’s digital future is now.
