alwakaai news- 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.
