Hold on to your boarding passes, folks! Three Jordanian startups—ADADK, LYNEports, and Salam—are taking airport innovation to new heights after shining at the Airport Innovation Days in Amman.
Hosted by Airport International Group (AIG) and Groupe ADP, this competition highlighted Jordan’s emerging role in aviation tech.
Detailed projects were not disclosed. But, the company’s main products and services give a hint into what they might bring to airport operations and passenger experience.
Meet the Jordanian Startups
ADADK specializes in smart technology for water management, with a focus on water leak detection systems. Their technology monitors water flow in real-time, detecting leaks to minimize water waste and reduce maintenance costs. In an airport setting, their expertise could prevent costly disruptions and ensure that critical infrastructure operates more sustainably and efficiently—a win-win for operational and environmental goals.
Meanwhile, LYNEports has a strong focus on sustainable energy solutions, specializing in green technology and decarbonization strategies. Their commitment to cleaner energy use could help airports achieve sustainability goals. That, by reducing emissions and adopting renewable energy sources—vital as environmental concerns grow worldwide.
Salam focuses on technology-driven solutions for better customer experiences, particularly in public spaces. Their emphasis on user-friendly platforms and service efficiency suggests they may have the tools to streamline passenger services, offering smoother check-ins, more accessible navigation, and overall stress reduction for travelers.
Regional Impact and Market Potential
This achievement not only highlights Jordan’s budding tech ecosystem but also demonstrates its potential to shape the MENA region’s aviation market.
Jordan has been steadily building a supportive environment for startups, especially in sectors like technology, sustainability, and customer service innovation. Jordanian startups, including ADADK, LYNEports, and Salam, benefit from this ecosystem that fosters collaboration, mentorship, and visibility on a regional scale.
Positioned within a dynamic environment, these companies are well-equipped to exploit increased demand for technologies that enhance airport efficiency, sustainability, and passenger experience.
Airport International Group’s CEO Nicolas Deviller emphasized that the competition aims to “connect startups with essential resources.” That is, it aligns with Jordan’s drive to elevate its tech presence.
Opportunities and Challenges
Implementing these solutions at scale will be challenging. Each startup faces the complexities of regulatory approvals, financing, and integration with large airport systems.
Yet, with strategic backing and access to real-world testing environments, ADADK, LYNEports, and Salam could lead the charge in transforming Jordanian airports.
