Jordan's King Abdullah II on Saturday opened the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa, which Jordan will host for the 10th time.

A number of heads of state and some 1,000 business leaders, politicians, representatives of civil society organizations, international and youth organizations, and media and academics from around 50 countries are participating.

The two-day World Economic Forum will be held under the theme "Towards New Cooperation Systems". Jordan will host its meetings in partnership and cooperation between the World Economic Forum and the King Abdullah II Development Fund.

The sessions of the World Economic Forum focus on four main themes: the fourth industrial revolution in the Arab world, the construction of a new economic model, the future of environmental management in the Arab world, and access to common ground in a multi-directional world. Among the activities of the Forum this year will be a session entitled "Prospects and Future of Tourism in Jordan" to highlight the tourism sector in Jordan as an engine of economic growth and the investment opportunities it offers.

During the forum, an initiative will be launched to highlight the top 100 emerging companies in the Arab world, including 27 Jordanian companies, in cooperation between the Forum and the Bahrain Economic Development Board. The companies were selected from about 400 companies and represent 17 countries in vital sectors such as education, energy, environment, finance, health, media and transportation. is over/
