Dead Sea, Jordan September 24, 2026: Zain Jordan has announced its Platinum
Sponsorship of Jordan FinTech Festival (JO FINTECH FESTIVAL 2026), which kicked
off yesterday at King Hussein bin Talal Convention Centre at the Dead Sea. The festival
is organized by the Central Bank of Jordan in collaboration with the Association of Banks
in Jordan and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), under
the theme “Where Regulation Meets Innovation.”
The event brings together leading financial institutions, regulators, fintech companies,
investors, and experts from Jordan, the region, and around the world to explore emerging
opportunities, technologies, and developments shaping the future of financial services.
Zain Jordan’s sponsorship reflects its role as an active partner in Jordan’s digital
transformation journey and its ongoing commitment to supporting the development of a
more innovative and competitive digital economy. Through its continued investment in
advanced technologies and digital infrastructure, Zain develops solutions that address the
evolving needs of businesses and institutions, enabling them to capitalize on the
opportunities created by technological advancement and contributing to Jordan’s position
as a regional hub for innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship.
Zain’s participation in the festival provides a platform to showcase its latest technology
solutions and services, including Cloud Solutions, while highlighting Jordan’s growing
startup and innovation ecosystem and connecting emerging companies with institutions,
investors, and potential partners. These efforts support greater collaboration and
contribute to accelerating innovation and digital transformation across the Kingdom.
Through its sponsorship and participation, Zain also reaffirms its continued commitment
to empowering entrepreneurs and startups by helping them develop their ventures,
accelerate business growth, and access markets, investors, partners, and supporting
organizations. Such initiatives contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of
Jordanian startups both locally and internationally.
As part of the festival, Zain is participating through two dedicated booths, one
representing its Business Solutions and the other its Zain Innovation Campus (ZINC)
platform.
Zain booth for business Solutions showcases a range of cloud-based solutions and
technologies designed to help businesses and institutions enhance operational efficiency
and develop their operations amid the rapid transition toward the digital economy. The
booth also highlights the integrated digital solutions and specialized services offered by
The Bunker, Zain’s regional data and disaster recovery center.

Visitors can also experience an interactive 360-degree Virtual Reality (VR) tour, offering
an immersive introduction to The Bunker’s services and capabilities for the business
sector through a virtual tour of the bunker. The booth hosts several of Zain’s technology
partners, including (Heybreez) which is showcasing its AI-powered Voice AI solutions.
These solutions enable businesses to automate voice interactions, manage workflows, and
integrate with different systems, helping deliver more efficient, reliable, and scalable
customer experiences.
Meanwhile, Zain Innovation Campus (ZINC) booth features two startups supported by
ZINC: (Bab Plus), which develops technology solutions that help businesses accelerate
growth through integrated tools for marketing, sales, customer service, and automated
responses across multiple channels; and (Avancer AI), which specializes in artificial
intelligence and digital content verification, developing solutions to detect AI-generated
or manipulated content and verify images, videos, audio recordings, and documents.
The participation of both startups reflects ZINC’s continued support for selected startups
under its Zain Al Mubadara program. Last year, ZINC hosted both companies and
provided them with funding and logistical support through the program, enabling them to
showcase their innovative solutions, introduce their businesses to festival participants and
visitors, and connect with investors, institutions, and other stakeholders taking part in the
event.
The second edition of Jordan FinTech Festival builds on the success of last year’s
inaugural edition, which attracted more than 1,200 participants from over 31 countries
and featured more than 40 speakers. This year’s festival features panel discussions,
specialized workshops, an exhibition of fintech solutions and technologies, startup
pitching sessions, networking activities, and a FinTech Hackathon, providing innovators
and entrepreneurs with a platform to present their ideas and solutions to investors,
financial institutions, and industry experts.
