The Jordanian American Business Council (JABC) was established as a strategic, non-governmental body with a mandate to strengthen bilateral and multilateral economic engagement between Jordan, the United States, and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Conceived by a distinguished coalition of business leaders, senior policymakers, academics, and cross-sector experts, JABC responds to the growing need for an institution capable of convening high-level stakeholders across public and private domains. At a time of geopolitical complexity and rapidly shifting global markets, JABC serves as a neutral, high-trust platform to bridge ambition with opportunity. Its founding mission is to position Jordan not only as a gateway to MENA, but as a serious partner in diplomacy-driven trade, sustainable investment, and knowledge leadership. Today, JABC is governed by a diverse, international board, and empowered by 11 sector committees that operate as engines of influence, innovation, and regional impact. With its roots anchored in diplomacy, investment facilitation, and economic modernization, JABC is not merely a networking entity—it is an engine of soft power, institutional credibility, and sectoral activation. The Council is built to serve as a trusted interface for ministries, embassies, chambers of commerce, multinational corporations, and international agencies that are committed to shaping the future of trade and innovation between the U.S. and the MENA region.
Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, JABC is a registered nonprofit organization governed by a board of directors representing elite leaders from industry, policy, academia, and global commerce. Through its 11 sector-specific committees, international programs, and strategic convenings, JABC offers a neutral, results-oriented platform where economic diplomacy meets business execution. JABC’s strength lies in its ability to operate at the intersection of government and business—bridging national development objectives with global investment frameworks. The Council facilitates bilateral forums, regional trade missions, executive delegations, and cultural exchanges while aligning its strategy with ministerial and consular priorities across both sides of the Atlantic. Whether serving as a liaison for institutional investors, a convener of policy roundtables, or a launchpad for cross-sectoral innovation, JABC functions as a diplomatic-grade ecosystem dedicated to sustainable development, strategic alignment, and commercial excellence.
