Entrepreneurship Forum 2004

Patronized by His Majesty King Abdullah II, and under the theme “Orchestrating talents…Celebrating Success”, the Young Entrepreneurs Association (YEA), brought together Jordanian decision makers with leading world figures in academia and business, to exchange ideas and perspectives on Global Entrepreneurship and on ways to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit in Jordan.

The Forum that was held for three days at the Dead Sea, delivered a unique participatory event where all entrepreneurial needs, concerns, and aspirations were funneled into a dynamic dialogue process among entrepreneurs and policy makers. As a result, the mindset, environment, conditions and responsibilities needed for entrepreneurship to flourish in Jordan will were identified and processed into an action plan.

Key speakers at the forum presented complementary perspectives, regionally and internationally, to leaders in entrepreneurship, future entrepreneurs, and the business and government sectors. Interactive sessions provided speakers and attendees with an opportunity to exchange viewpoints.

The Forum was composed of a number of ateliers, each atelier was a focused, skills-based learning experience where participants managed to use their newly gained skills to improve their business performance. Incorporating ateliers into the Forum aimed at helping in elevating and enhancing entrepreneurial abilities through the transfer of tangible skills from “the expert” to participating entrepreneurs. It also aimed at embracing entrepreneurship through youth and women’s participation.
