Invite-only convening · Amman, Jordan · October 14, 2026

Delivering America First Outcomes in Jordan & Egypt

Tech talent, cyber standards, and shared prosperity

How U.S. businesses can expand across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by drawing on skilled local talent through the Tech for Jobs and Cyber Advance initiatives.

The convening

Expanding U.S. business in MENA with local talent

 

Correlation One invites you to an exclusive convening on how U.S. businesses can expand effectively across the Middle East and North Africa. The forum takes on a central challenge: deploying American technology requires a skilled local workforce. You’ll see how U.S. Department of State–supported initiatives align U.S. commercial interests with prosperity, security, and stability in Jordan and Egypt, two vital strategic partners.

By bringing government priorities and private-sector capabilities together, the evening is designed to build lasting partnerships that advance U.S. economic and strategic interests.
