AMMAN - In an achievement that reflects the development of Jordan's
technological industry and its ability to compete globally in the digital
education sector, Talal Abu-Ghazaleh for Technology (TAGTech), a member of
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global Digital (TAG.GD), announced that it has been awarded
the largest tender in the history of Jordan's hardware industry to serve
educational purposes. This marks an important milestone in the company’s
journey, following three years of investment in building its industrial and
technological capabilities, while enduring operational and investment costs
exceeding $22 million.
This accomplishment comes as part of official efforts aimed at
localizing the digital industry in Jordan, in line with the directives of His
Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein, to keep pace with technological
developments, enhance reliance on national capabilities, and develop
value-added industries to support the national economy, in addition to opening
new horizons for Jordanian products in local and regional markets.
On this occasion, HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, TAG.GD founder and
chairman, asserted that localizing technology in Jordan is not just an option;
rather it is a strategic necessity for building a robust and competitive
national economy. He stressed that countries wishing to shape their future must
produce technology themselves rather than just consume its tools.
It is worth mentioning that TAGTech’s high-spec products bear the
Jordanian Certificate of Origin and the “Made in Jordan” label, reflecting TAGTech’s
commitment to developing technological products tailored to the local market
and strengthening the position and competitiveness of national industry in the
digital hardware sector.
