During the meeting at Antwork, a
co-working space in Jabal Amman, Her Majesty expressed her admiration for
locally made Jordanian products and applauded all those who channel their
efforts into creating resourceful platforms to promote high-quality local
products to a broader audience.
Attendees included a range of
supporters of locally made items, including the creators of a number of online
stores, social media accounts, and online campaigns that aim to highlight
exceptional local brands, and familiarize consumers with a wide pool of
Jordanian products. Others offer business services to local companies,
providing them with the tools to grow their businesses.
The group also included the creators
of a number of Jordanian brands known for their high-quality food products,
clothing, accessories, and handmade items, who are creating job opportunities
for Jordanian artisans, as well as refugees.
Speaking to Queen Rania, the
entrepreneurs and business owners shared their ambitions to continue opening
new doors for locally-made products, thereby creating job opportunities for
Jordanian talents and helping local items reach new global markets.
The group also underscored the importance
of consumer trust, noting the role that the high quality of Jordanian products
has played in enabling them to extend their reach on the regional and global
scale.
Opened in Jordan in March 2021,
Antwork has two Amman locations, each including indoor and outdoor open-plan
workspaces where businesspeople and entrepreneurs can operate on a short or
long-term basis. Its tech-enabled work environments are equipped with custom
tools and smart services catered to the needs of local businesses. It also has locations
