## What the grant funds

Jordan’s entrepreneurial ecosystem has witnessed substantial growth, driven by local public and private investment, notable U.S. business deals, innovation accelerators, and a growing number of entrepreneurs. Yet the majority of promising ventures remain concentrated in local or regional markets, without meaningful benefit to the U.S. market. Jordanian entrepreneurs face challenges in building the relevant networks, regulatory understanding, and investment readiness needed to compete successfully in the United States and partner with U.S. businesses. Programs such as SelectUSA Tech – a U.S. Department of Commerce-led initiative which offers Jordanian startups a critical pathway to engage with the American market – can be leveraged to expand Jordanian investment in the United States. This initiative will help enable Jordanian entrepreneurial ventures with the capacity potential to transform into high-growth startups, by studying U.S. business models and programs to become investment ready in the United States. By equipping Jordanian entrepreneurs with the awareness, preparation, and advisory services to be accessible to the U.S. market, this initiative will enable them to scale, attract U.S. business partnerships, and drive innovation, while embracing America’s example of business growth. Promoting U.S. excellence and prominence in business will strengthen ties and highlight the United States as Jordan’s preferred economic partner in entrepreneurship and innovation. The initiative will create new trade and investment opportunities that advance American prosperity and feature U.S. values of enterprise, innovation, and rule of law. The initiative’s aim is to promote private-sector growth and bolster America’s commercial influence through partnerships with Jordanian startups. Applications are accepted via email only to AmmanGrants@state.gov. applications submitted via Grants.gov will not be accepted.
