- Technology Commercialization Program
The Technology Commercialization Program is a national program initiated by PSUT, the Royal Scientific Society, the Higher Council for Science and Technology, and several key organization and companies from the private and public sectors. It aims at increasing the awareness of researchers and innovators about the economical value of their intellectual properties (IP) and protects them nationally and regionally. The program also aims at establishing a licensing office, which will act as the engine for technology transfer.
Creating national intellectual wealth requires protection and continuous support. Building on this vision, the program incorporates the idea of enabling intellectuals and researchers to protect their intellectual output, hence facilitating the creation of high return investments.
The program is supervised by a group of specialists from Jordan and the region representing both the private and public sectors. Currently, we are working on creating the Innovation & Intellectual Property Forum of Jordan (I²FJ) that will bring together institutions concerned with fostering innovation and commercializing technology.

Founded in 1985 at the urging of San Diego’s business community, UCSD CONNECT is widely regarded as the most successful program in the USA. By organizing activities and offering advice, CONNECT Jordan supports and improves the opportunities for entrepreneurs and start-ups. The needs of entrepreneurs are always central, and CONNECT’s objective is to speed up the start-ups’ commercialization, thus creating additional jobs in Jordan.
Working closely With CONNECT Sweden; CONNECT Jordan links entrepreneurs and resources through what is called springboards; springboards are intended to support the development of growth companies.
An expert panel helps entrepreneurs solve problems and identify opportunities, and gives practical advice on what action entrepreneurs should take to exploit these opportunities. "Springboards" are intended primarily to serve newly started companies, but can also help more mature companies to make progress.
"Springboards" make up the core CONNECT activity. Other important activities include financial forums, partnership forums and instructional publications.
- DART
In an effort to translate theory into practice; DART was founded in September, 2004. DART is the student's entrepreneurship society at PSUT's campus. The DART name and logo resembles an arrow hitting a target. It is also an acronym for: Dream, Aim, Reach and Target. DART students work hard to bridge the gap between students in the academic world and companies in the business world.
They focus on promoting the entrepreneurial spirit amongst PSUT students as a style of life. In the ICT-oriented youth society we live in, the increasing demand for highly competent graduates makes us realize the pressing need to be innovative and aware of the ever evolving labor market.
