Questions
About the organization and sector guides
- What is a PPP program?
- A PPP program is an organization’s own way of taking part in public-private partnerships (PPPs): a mandate, a named team, a map of the projects it can join, its own offer, partners and a first pilot, so it can work on one PPP project after another.
- Who are the organization guides for?
- There are 96 organization guides, one for every kind of organization in Jordan: the Royal Hashemite Court, the Prime Ministry and Parliament, ministries, courts and municipalities, banks and investors at home and abroad, developers and contractors, advisors, operators, technology companies, research centers, universities, schools and training providers, companies in 21 economic sectors, humanitarian and relief organizations, the organizations of all 12 governorates, and the organizations building on the Moon and Mars.
- Are the guides free?
- Yes. Every organization guide and every sector guide is free to read on its page and free to download as a PDF, and two free summaries bring all 96 organization guides and all 23 sector guides together.
- What is in each organization guide?
- Each organization guide follows the same fourteen sections: the introduction, the guide itself, Jordan and Aqaba, the sector guides closest to it, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization, small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, unsolicited proposals, why your kind of organization, the program, the author and six first steps.
- What are the sector guides?
- There are 23 sector guides, one for each sector Jordan is investing in and advancing, from water and solar power to logistics and tourism. Together these sectors make up the $86 billion. Each sector guide lists every project in its sector with its stage and value, sets out its link to the infrastructure singularity and shows where partners come in.
- How do the organization guides and the sector guides connect?
- An organization guide shows one kind of organization how to launch a PPP program, and a sector guide shows what can be built in one sector. Each organization guide names the sector guides closest to it, and each sector guide names the organization guides that belong with it.
- How large is Jordan’s PPP pipeline?
- Jordan has about $86 billion of PPP and infrastructure projects in development, and about $46 billion of them are anchored in Aqaba, Jordan’s only port and its gateway to the Red Sea.
- Can a private company propose a PPP project in Jordan?
- Yes. Article 15 of PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 lets any private company take its own PPP idea to the Ministry of Investment or a public authority, and PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 sets out how it is studied. If the project goes to tender, the proposer can match the best offer.
- What is the infrastructure singularity?
- The infrastructure singularity is the point where the built world starts improving itself faster than anyone can direct it. Artificial intelligence designs and runs the assets, robotics builds and maintains them, and tokenization finances them and opens their ownership to everyone.
- What is the PPP singularity?
- The PPP singularity is the point at which it becomes cheaper to build the pilot than to conduct the study. The organization guides and sector guides work toward it with small PPPs run in parallel, a research lab in each sector and every result published.
- How can an organization futureproof itself for the infrastructure singularity?
- By learning by building now: launch a PPP program of its own, run small PPPs in parallel, open a research lab in its sector, collect data from every asset and pilot, and test AI, robotics and tokenization on small projects before they reach its largest ones. Each organization guide turns this into six first steps for one kind of organization.
- How does an organization start?
- Find your kind of organization, read the organization guide written for it, then the sector guides for what it builds, and take its six first steps: a mandate, a team, a map of the pipeline, your own offer, partners and a first pilot.
Questions
About the infrastructure singularity
- How much will it cost to rebuild the world’s infrastructure?
- Rebuilding and running the world’s infrastructure will take about $500 trillion over the next fifty years: $300 trillion to build the physical assets, $150 trillion to operate and maintain them, and $50 trillion for the sensors, compute and robotics inside them.
- Why will public-private partnerships carry the rebuild?
- Governments cannot fund, build and run the rebuild alone, and the private sector cannot do it without them, so public-private partnerships (PPPs) will carry much of it.
- Which technologies bring the infrastructure singularity closer?
- Artificial intelligence designs and runs the assets, robotics builds and maintains them, and tokenization finances them and opens their ownership to everyone.
- Where does it start?
- It starts in Jordan, with about $86 billion of PPP and infrastructure projects in development, $46 billion of them anchored in Aqaba, 96 free organization guides that show every kind of organization how to launch a PPP program, and 23 sector guides to the sectors behind the $86 billion.
