A short summary of the project’s aims and target groups were presented, as well as the services that the project would offer to participating small and medium enterprises. The focus group meeting discussed the opportunities and challenges of Jordan’s tourism and ICT sectors, as well as the various opportunities, such as skill development trainings, that will be offered to SMEs as part of the project’s activities.
