Jordan: Amman, a city of light

Syrian refugee Ehab and Jordanian programmer Amani founded Drag IOT (Internet of things) to start selling high-tech programming kits, which can be used to remotely control everything from home heating systems to automatic plant feeders. While his progression from tech-savvy youngster to technology entrepreneur may appear as logical as the computer programmes he writes, the fact that he did it while living as a Syrian refugee in Jordan is a testament to his own determination and the support of his adopted community. Ehab and Amani both agree that their experience shows what can be achieved when refugees are embraced by their host communities. “Amman deserves to be seen as a city of light,” said Ehab. “It offers many opportunities. Everyone wants to support you.”
