Investment Thesis
Jadara Electronics is strategically positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for vocational training and renewable energy solutions in Jordan and the Middle East. New investment will go into supporting the company’s expansion into new markets, improve profitability by scaling manufacturing operations, and align with Jordan’s focus on sustainable energy solutions. Additionally, Jadara Electronics significantly contributes to vocational training, enhancing technical skills in the workforce in line with national educational goals, and has potential for expansion into manufacturing for renewable energy sectors.
Refugee Impact
While Jadara does not directly employ refugees in its vocational training equipment manufacturing, it supplies equipment to organizations that train refugees and engages with them through training courses funded by NGOs and private sector academies. Jadara’s products and services indirectly impact refugee communities by enhancing their vocational skills and employability. By providing high-quality training equipment and services, the company supports initiatives aimed at improving the livelihoods of refugees and integrating them into the local workforce.
