The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship in Jordan has launched a national blockchain technology network in collaboration with Jordanian blockchain company Blockexe. The implementation of blockchain technology in the Jordanian public sector is in line with the Jordanian Digital Transformation Strategy (2021-2025).
Increasing confidence in government services
On July 17, Jordan’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship announced its partnership with local blockchain company Blockexe to launch a national blockchain technology network called Modee Dlt. This protocol aims to increase trust and transparency in government services.
The blockchain network is integrated with the Jordanian government portal, allowing decentralized and verifiable digital records of all Sanad transactions. According to a report, this implementation is in line with the Middle East’s Digital Transformation Strategy (2021-2025), which focuses on strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure.
Under Jordan’s ambitious strategy, innovation and partnerships between the private and public sectors are seen as key factors; therefore they are encouraged. Investments in critical information technology infrastructure, including the expansion of broadband and the rollout of 5G, are also seen as important factors. When achieved, these and five other factors will help Jordan improve the quality of life for its citizens.
Meanwhile, the ministry emphasized that the use of the blockchain network in various government sectors will create a trustworthy digital environment, supporting the Kingdom’s broader goals of achieving a robust and reliable digital economy.
In addition to increasing trust in government, this initiative aims to streamline the integration of e-government services, making them more transparent, efficient and competitive both locally and internationally.
