Eligibility criteria for Jordanian Digital Startups within the YTJ project
We support technology and technology-enabled startups and SMEs. This includes companies that either:
· Sell or export technology-based products or services, or
· Depend heavily on technology to deliver their services (e.g., e-commerce platforms, digital service providers, call centers)
Registration and eligibility: All companies must be registered for at least one year and,
1. Jordanian based businesses that are looking to scale up globally.
The YTJ project’s support is directed towards startups registered in Jordan, regardless of the nationality of the founders or the presence of additional foreign registrations/branches. Expansion regionally and globally is encouraged, but it must always be pursued through and for the benefit of the Jordanian entity.
2. Businesses founded by non-Jordanian nationals but formally registered in Jordan are considered eligible, provided the support and resulting impact (investment, clients, grants, partnerships, etc.) directly benefit the Jordanian entity.
3. Businesses founded by Jordanians but registered abroad (e.g., Delaware or other jurisdictions) may still be eligible, as long as there is a registered Jordanian entity and all support provided under this project is channeled to that entity. The results and KPIs must also be reflected on the Jordanian entity.
4. Businesses registered abroad but later establishing a branch in Jordan are eligible, again under the condition that the Jordanian branch/entity is the primary beneficiary of the support and that all measurable outcomes are attributed to the Jordanian entity.
