Role of Crown Prince Foundation in promoting collective work — Tawasol Forum

The Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) stands as a beacon of hope for millions of Jordanians, particularly the youth. Through its initiatives, the CPF extends its reach across the nation, fostering awareness, dialogue, and action on critical national issues. The Foundation champions the active engagement of youth in leadership, entrepreneurship, education and sustainable development while addressing the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly digital world. This strategic focus aims to harness the capabilities of Jordan's young population, creating pathways for enhanced job opportunities and ensuring their active participation in shaping the nation's future. Among the many initiatives spearheaded by the CPF, the Tawasol Forum has emerged as a pivotal platform for national dialogue. Now in its third edition, the Forum has become a cornerstone for institutionalizing conversations on pressing issues concerning the future of Jordan and its people. The third edition of the Tawasol Forum, held recently, emphasised the critical role of youth and their empowerment as central themes. This year, the Forum centered its discussions on emerging and transformative themes such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation, Technical and Vocational Education and Entrepreneurship. The Forum also embraced a comprehensive and inclusive approach in discussing national issues that resonate with future generations. Topics such as tourism, culture, art, administrative and economic reform, and other societal matters were deliberated with a focus on their long-term implications. This diversity of topics reflects the CPF's commitment to ensuring that all facets of national development are considered in shaping Jordan's trajectory. To further amplify the impact and out reach of the Tawasol Forum, its dialogue sessions are broadcast live through various media and social media channels. This approach ensures widespread community engagement and raises awareness among young people about pressing national issues and their implications for professional, social and economic futures. By incorporating innovation and fostering direct communication with stakeholders, the Forum is building vital bridges that connect diverse sectors of society. Moreover, by making the data and outcomes of the Forum accessible, national and educational institutions can rely on these insights as a valuable reference for strategic planning and policymaking. The discussions, findings and recommendations emerging from the Tawasol Forum are being meticulously drafted to create a clear and comprehensive vision. This vision aims to guide decision-makers and executive authorities in formulating policies and strategies aligned with the aspirations and needs of the Jordanian people. By channeling the insights gained through dialogue into actionable outcomes, the CPF seeks to make a tangible impact on the nation's future. Looking ahead, there is a shared vision for the Tawasol Forum to evolve into one of Jordan's most important national think-tank centers. By adopting an interactive, innovative and inclusive mode of operation, the Forum aspires to mirror successful models from developed countries that prioritise scientific and participatory research. For a country like Jordan, which has long lacked such forward-thinking platforms, this represents a transformative opportunity. By organising future editions of the Tawasol Forum, it becomes possible to explore and simulate the intricate relationship between local and global challenges in an ever-accelerating digital world. The Forum's ability to propose innovative solutions will be key in addressing these challenges, ultimately contributing to enhancing the quality of life for all Jordanians. These efforts, showcasing the Crown Prince Foundation's unwavering commitment to progress, embody the aspirations of Jordanian leadership to foster a culture of collective action.

HRH Al Hussein's Call to Innovate

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II stood before the nation at the 'Tawasol' forum not as a figurehead, but as a visionary—a leader with a fire in his voice and the future of Jordan in his heart. His words were not ceremonial—they were catalytic. He spoke of a Jordan that does not wait for the world to change but dares to shape it. A Jordan that refuses to be a footnote in someone else's success story. This was a moment of awakening. A call to action. A clear message: we either build the future with our own hands—or be left behind by those who do. When His Royal Highness spoke of Artificial Intelligence, he wasn't referencing a far-off trend or a passing buzzword. He was outlining a revolution—one that must run through the very veins of our society. AI is not just about smarter apps or faster services. It is the new infrastructure of power. Those who master it will lead the world. Those who don't, will follow indefinitely. Imagine a Jordan where AI detects cancer at its earliest stages, saving thousands of lives with faster, more accurate diagnoses. Where a small clinic in Tafileh has access to the same diagnostic power as top-tier hospitals. Imagine AI-powered drones monitoring farms in the Jordan Valley, detecting pests before they spread, maximizing crop yields, and conserving precious water. Or imagine an education system where every student—from Amman to Ajloun—has a personalized AI tutor, unlocking each child's full potential and making world-class learning accessible to all. These aren't distant dreams—they are already reshaping countries that once stood where we stand now. This transformation cannot rest solely on government institutions. It is a national mission that requires the full force of our collective will. But let us be clear: the government must lead with courage. It must invest boldly in homegrown tech startups, provide direct funding for innovation hubs, and reform outdated legislation that stifles ambition. We cannot ask our youth to innovate inside a system that punishes speed and rewards stagnation. Our education system must also be completely reimagined—from the first years of school to the final years of university. Coding, robotics, data science, and creative problem-solving must become foundational, not optional. We must prepare our young people not just to take jobs, but to create industries. And our employment and training strategies must align with global demand—not just domestic needs—so that Jordanian talent can compete and lead anywhere in the world. As His Majesty King Abdullah II once said, even the most advanced hospital is meaningless without skilled human hands. Our true wealth lies not in our land, but in our people. In our engineers who build global apps, our doctors who serve in war zones, our entrepreneurs pitching ideas to international investors. These young Jordanians are not looking for favors—they are demanding a fair chance. They don't want charity—they want trust, belief, and opportunity. We are blessed with political stability. We are rich in talent. We are fueled by a youth full of ambition and resilience. The only missing element is a unified national decision to unlock it all—and that decision is now echoing through the voice of His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness has drawn the map. The path is clear. Now it falls to us—to educators, to entrepreneurs, to policymakers, to every citizen—to build what he envisioned. We must construct a national ecosystem that produces technology, not just imports it. One that exports solutions, not problems. One that graduates leaders, not job seekers. As the Crown Prince said: 'If knowledge is power, then creative ideas are wealth.' These are not just inspiring words—they are a blueprint. A call to create curricula that ignite imagination, to launch national projects that change lives, and to build companies that place Jordan on the global innovation map. If we rise to this challenge, history will remember this as the moment Jordan turned ambition into action, vision into legacy. But if we hesitate, if we retreat into old habits and comfortable excuses, we will be left to answer to future generations for the opportunity we failed to seize. This is our moment. This is our mission. Let's build the Jordan that the future deserves.
