What this guide is for
Your group of Jordanian investors abroad launches a PPP program that invests in public-private partnership (PPP) projects at home through funds, tokenized project notes and direct stakes and lends its networks and expertise to each project.
The case
Jordanians abroad already send billions home every year
Jordanians abroad have long supported the country through the money they send home, and the assets of the next fifty years will be built, run and financed in new ways. Diaspora investors who build a PPP program now can turn part of that support into ownership of the roads, water networks and power plants their families use. This guide invites Jordanian diaspora investors in the Gulf, Europe and the Americas to launch that program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Invest at home in the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your group opens a dedicated PPP program, with a mandate, a small team and a circle of trusted partners in Jordan, that invests in projects at home through funds, tokenized notes and direct stakes, starting with Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and the $46 billion anchored in Aqaba.
01
Diaspora PPP funds
Investors abroad pool their savings in a regulated fund that takes equity in PPP project companies in Jordan, so a professional in Dubai, London or Houston can hold a share of a portfolio of projects through one investment run by a licensed manager.
02
Tokenized project notes
The program holds tokenized notes in operating PPPs, which pay from the project’s revenue, come in small amounts and can be held from any country. Jordan’s Law Regulating Dealings in Virtual Assets No. 14 of 2025 brought virtual asset service providers under licensing by the Jordan Securities Commission.
03
Direct stakes
Jordan’s PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender, and PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. A diaspora group can take a direct stake in a project of that size or bring its own proposal to government.
04
Networks and expertise
Jordanian engineers, bankers, doctors and executives abroad know the markets where they work. The program puts that expertise on project boards and advisory panels and introduces the international partners each consortium needs.
05
A stake in home
Concessions run for decades and leave behind roads, water networks, schools and power plants that serve the towns diaspora families come from. A PPP program lets Jordanians abroad build a lasting holding at home that their children can inherit.
Why diaspora investors
Jordanians abroad already send billions home every year
A PPP needs patient capital, international partners and people who understand both the country and the investors who fund it. Jordanians abroad bring all three, and they already support the economy at home every month.
Where diaspora investors fit in a PPP
- Diaspora funds
- Pooled equity in a portfolio of PPP project companies, run by a licensed manager and open to investors in many countries.
- Tokenized notes
- Small holdings in operating PPPs that pay from the project’s revenue and can be held from anywhere in the world.
- Direct stakes
- Equity in small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, or in a direct proposal brought to government under Article 15.
- Expertise
- Seats on project boards and advisory panels for Jordanian engineers, bankers and executives working abroad.
- Partners
- Introductions to the employers, lenders, contractors and operators that diaspora professionals work with abroad.
Jordanians abroad already send money home
Preliminary Central Bank of Jordan data show that remittances from Jordanians working abroad reached about $4.5 billion in 2025, up 4.5% on 2024, with the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Qatar the largest sources. The Investment Environment Law No. 21 of 2022 guarantees equality between Jordanian and foreign investors and lets investors move convertible currency into and out of the Kingdom.
Why a program, and why now
Without a program, a Jordanian abroad hears of projects at home through family, news and chance, and invests alone or waits. A program gives diaspora investors a mandate, a trusted manager and a pipeline of their own, so they can choose projects and invest together. Jordan’s pipeline is large and early, and investors who join as consortiums form will own a share of the country’s infrastructure for decades.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Jordanian Diaspora Investors for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
Every one of them will need patient equity, international partners and people who know both Jordan and the markets abroad. A Jordanian abroad who invests in one project at home can bring colleagues, employers and partners into the next one.
- $86B
- of PPP and infrastructure projects in development in Jordan
- $46B
- of them anchored in Aqaba
Artificial intelligence
AI lets investors far from Amman follow a PPP as closely as a local team. A diaspora fund can test a financial model, read a concession agreement and its schedules, and compare a deal against similar projects in hours, which makes careful investing possible without a large staff in Jordan. Once the asset is operating, digital twins and sensors report its performance to every investor, wherever they live.
Robotics
Robotics lowers the cost and the risk of building and running the assets diaspora investors own. Projects that use automated construction finish closer to schedule, and drones and maintenance robots keep operating assets performing for longer. Jordanian engineers who work with these machines abroad can bring them home to the projects they invest in.
Tokenization
Tokenization suits investors spread across many countries. A Jordanian in the Gulf, Europe or the Americas can hold tokenized notes in an operating PPP at home, receive revenue through smart contracts as it arrives, sell small portions when needed and pass a holding to heirs, in amounts that fit a monthly saving plan.
Small PPPs and research labs
Small PPPs come in tickets a diaspora group can hold directly. Jordanians abroad can back a lab in their home governorate, take stakes in a portfolio of pilots across several sectors and follow on into the technologies and project companies that prove themselves, with returns paid from each asset’s own revenue.
Unsolicited proposals
A diaspora group can sponsor a direct proposal of its own, choosing a project its members believe in, often in the towns they come from, and the partners to deliver it. The proposer’s right to match the best offer and to recover its direct study costs at tender protects the group’s early investment in the idea.
The program
How the program could work
The program can start with a mandate, a licensed manager and a small team of Jordanian professionals abroad, and grow with each project it backs and each investor it adds.
- Mandate
- A clear statement of the program’s sectors, ticket sizes and investor base, and the horizon its members are willing to hold.
- Manager
- A licensed fund manager that pools diaspora capital and invests it in PPP project companies in Jordan.
- Investors
- Jordanian professionals, business owners and families in the Gulf, Europe and the Americas, organized by country chapter.
- Small-scale PPPs
- A route to small projects below $14.1 million and to the group’s own direct proposals under Article 15.
- Tokenized notes
- A pilot holding of tokenized notes in an operating PPP, offered through a licensed provider to investors in many countries.
- Expert network
- A register of diaspora engineers, financiers, lawyers and executives ready to sit on boards and advise projects.
- Partners
- Developers, contractors, operators, banks and infrastructure funds in Jordan to co-invest beside.
What diaspora investors gain
Diaspora investors gain long-dated assets at home backed by contracted revenue, a seat in consortiums beside the developers and operators that build the country, and a holding that earns from the projects their families use. Each project brings partners who can offer the group the next one.
They also gain a lasting role in the country’s future. Infrastructure serves the public for generations, and Jordanians abroad who help build it leave their children a holding with a purpose, a network that links Jordan to the world and a head start in the next form of infrastructure ownership.
Next steps

Mandate
Agreement among a founding group of diaspora investors on a PPP program, with its sectors, ticket sizes and first-year allocation.
02
Team
A named program lead and a licensed manager, with investment, legal and technical advisors the group trusts.
03
Pipeline
A map of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects by sector and stage, with the funds, operating stakes and small-scale PPPs open to diaspora investors.
04
Structures
A fund, a holding company and a route to tokenized notes, set up once and reused on every deal.
05
Partners
Developers, banks and infrastructure funds in Jordan to co-invest beside, and diaspora business groups abroad to reach new investors.
06
Pilot
A first investment in a small-scale PPP, a tokenized note or a lab pilot, taken from idea to signing.
Jordan has the projects, a diaspora that already sends billions home each year and a law that lets a private investor propose its own projects. A PPP program gives Jordanians abroad a share in building the superintelligent infrastructure future of the country they come from.
