The OHK team is in Amman, Jordan this month working with the Kingdom’s highest innovation authority - the Higher Council for Science and Technology - to formulate Jordan’s future innovation strategy. OHK partners Ahmed Al-Okelly and Adam Kucharski are meeting with stakeholders active in the country’s innovation ecosystem to discuss challenges in Jordan’s transition to an innovation economy and priority actions for harnessing the Kingdom’s human resources.
The meetings will inform a comprehensive, Council-led effort to enhance Jordan’s competitiveness. In addition to mapping the innovation ecosystem, OHK is showcasing innovation trends and global benchmarks for successful, government-led innovation policies, focusing on examples of successful translation of policy to action. OHK will bring its experience in market-based innovation to help transition the country’s ecosystem towards applied R&D, knowledge commercialization, and new product development.
