Amman, December 19, 2024: His Majesty King Abdullah II bestowed the Silver Jubilee Medal upon Zain Jordan yesterday, Wednesday, in recognition of the company's contributions to the development of the telecommunications sector in the Kingdom.
The royal honor was awarded during a meeting attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, along with dignitaries and representatives from Amman Governorate and various national companies and institutions at the Royal Hashemite Court. The event was part of a series of royal engagements across all governorates of the Kingdom this year, marking the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty's assumption of constitutional powers.
Zain Jordan expressed its pride in receiving this recognition, which crowns a journey of three decades since its inception as the first mobile operator in Jordan. Since its establishment in 1995, Zain has served Jordan and its people by building an advanced telecommunications infrastructure that significantly contributed to the development of the sector. The company introduced mobile services to the Kingdom for the first time and continued its pioneering role in advancing the sector. Its investments in infrastructure led to the launch of 5G services, enhancing modernization in Jordan and empowering various sectors through innovative services and advanced business solutions.
This commitment has enriched the experiences of companies, institutions, and individuals alike. Zain reaffirmed its dedication to providing the best services and the latest technologies to achieve the royal vision of a technologically advanced and innovative Jordan. Such efforts reflect positively on the investment environment, attracting major regional and global companies.
Zain's management and employees expressed their pride in this royal gesture, renewing their pledge to continue serving Jordan and its people, contributing to the development and progress of the nation under the wise leadership of the Hashemite dynasty. They emphasized their commitment to keeping Jordan a beacon of excellence and innovation, attracting those seeking distinction.
Over the past 25 years under King Abdullah II's reign, Zain has played a vital role in Jordan's progress, driven by a deep sense of belonging and loyalty to the nation and its leadership. The company's efforts have consistently placed Jordan at the forefront of innovation and development, led by its visionary leadership and the determination of its people.
Beyond telecommunications and business solutions, Zain has made a profound impact on Jordanian society through its sustainable corporate social responsibility programs. These initiatives span health, education, environment, sports, youth, social solidarity, and the empowerment of individuals with disabilities. In 2009, His Majesty awarded Zain the Al Hussein Decoration for Distinguished Giving (First Order) in recognition of its contributions to the Kingdom and support for local communities.
Additionally, Zain has bolstered the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Jordan through its ZINC innovation platform, which has benefited approximately 360,000 young men and women to date. This ongoing support reinforces Zain's commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and driving sustainable growth in the Kingdom.
