An evening for the Jordanian professionals financing the AI era.
Jordanians aren't watching the AI transformation from the sidelines — they're helping finance and build it.
Jordan Innovation began in San Francisco with the engineers building at the frontier of AI — an evening that ended on the fact that some of the world's largest data centers already run on cooling engineered in Jordan. New York turns to the other side of the same story: the people inside the institutions financing that buildout. They rarely gather in one room. This evening brings them together.
AI is creating an entirely new capital stack around compute, data centers, power and digital infrastructure. The people participating in that transformation — across private equity, infrastructure, private credit, investment banking, venture and institutional capital — are the reason for this gathering.
Surfacing the Jordanians inside the institutions assembling the AI capital stack — private equity, infrastructure, private credit, investment banking, venture capital, data centers, energy and compute. Most have never been in the same room.
Making that participation visible, at home and abroad. A young Jordanian shouldn't experience AI as something happening to other people in Silicon Valley or New York. They should see their own in consequential seats and conclude: I can be part of this.
Putting those people in one room — not to speak on panels, but to know each other. The aim is a network that outlasts the evening, across finance, technology and infrastructure, between the diaspora and Jordan.
This is deliberately not an investment-promotion event. The proposition is Jordanians financing the AI economy, globally. Jordan's gain comes from the network itself: once connected, it finds its own way home.
Around 75–100 seats, curated. People who should know each other, finally in one room — and on stage, the people doing this work day to day. Confirmed speakers will be listed here.
The capital-stack architects — PE, infrastructure and private-credit principals who structure large, complex deals.
The allocators — sovereign, pension and insurance investors deploying into infrastructure and emerging markets.
The AI-infrastructure financiers — practitioners at the compute, energy and data-center frontier.
The operator-investors — senior people inside leading institutions, sharing where the AI economy is heading.
The global perspective — investors who place the AI buildout in a wider emerging-markets context.
Colleagues, institutions & partners — perspectives and relationships that broaden the conversation.
Jordan & the next generation — leaders, builders and emerging talent connecting the diaspora with home.
The network is the opportunity.
Bring together Jordanians already participating in one of the defining transformations of our time. Let them know one another, share what they are seeing, and make their journeys visible to the generation coming behind them.
Most of the value is in the room after 8:30.
How AI is reshaping the relationship between technology, infrastructure and capital.
How compute, data centers, power and digital infrastructure are becoming an investable asset class — and the equity, credit and institutional capital financing them.
The changing roles of infrastructure capital, private credit, investment banking, venture, sovereign capital and institutional investors in financing the AI buildout.
The people, careers and perspectives behind the capital — what they do, how they got there, what they're seeing, and what the next generation can learn from them.
On the Brooklyn waterfront, between the bridges.
The evening is hosted at Soho Works in DUMBO — an intimate setting across the river from Manhattan, built for a long table rather than a stage. Address and arrival details are shared with confirmed guests.
The room is kept small. Request your place, and we'll be in touch.
The conversations will be recorded. Highlights and full sessions will be shared on Jordan Innovation's channels after the evening — follow along for the release.
We'd rather a couple of institutions host the evening than sell space around it. Three simple ways to be involved:
Back the platform across editions, not just one evening.
Support one of the evening's three conversations.
Host the part of the night where the real work happens.
Partners will be announced once confirmed.
Jordan Innovation is a platform for discovering, connecting and celebrating Jordanians helping shape the technologies transforming the world — and for bringing that knowledge, ambition and network back into the broader Jordanian community. San Francisco convened the people building the technology. New York convenes the people financing it.
