Jordan Business Migration Survey - Endeavor ​ Analysis

In a recent survey we conducted at Endeavor Jordan, we asked entrepreneurs the following question: ‘If you were starting your business over again, would you set it up in Jordan?’ 60% of respondents said they would not.

One of the major challenges we face at Endeavor Jordan is our pipeline: finding companies that meet the Endeavor selection criteria. Endeavor looks for high-impact entrepreneurs who lead high-growth, innovative businesses that can create material wealth and employment in Jordan. We find, quite often, that the founders of such companies are either in the process of relocating from Jordan, or have already relocated to markets that are more favorable for their business.

This survey aims to shed light on this topic and help drive a dialogue between the public and private sector to address the challenges.
