strategic partnership agreement for the use of iris recognition to enhance access to governmental and private sector services . This partnership marks a significant change in the way services are provided to its citizens and residents , reinforcing their digital transformation journey , with Jordan being the first country to apply innovative iris recognition technologies in governmental services . university students . This drew the attention of Synopsys Academic and Research Alliances , SARA , a team dedicated to bridging academia and industry to build the next generation of semiconductor design talent .
The resultant collaboration with Golden Electronics enables it to build a pipeline of skilled engineers , helping the company expand its engineering base in Jordan by engaging university students and recent engineering graduates , and upgrading their microelectronics design skills .
There is a worldwide demand for skilled engineers capable of developing state-of-the-art integrated circuits , ICs , and Synopsys has a history of fostering talent development in emerging technology centres .
Country sustainability
LONGi , a solar technology company , held a workshop in Jordan with its partner Middle East Solar Stores . This event was under the theme Advanced Technologies on Solar Systems . Experts , researchers , and solar installers came to learn about new solar technologies and how they can help the energy transition in Jordan .
The complete solution provided by IrisGuard , including both iris cameras hardware and software applications , will enable a safe and secure activation of the digital identity , Sanad via iris recognition issued by the Ministry to citizens , in real-time . This service will be available at all Jordanian Post Offices and Kingdom ' s embassies abroad , as well as notary services related to land , property and vehicle ownership .
Iris recognition-based identity authentication projects and solutions developed by IrisGuard directly contribute to increasing financial inclusion . They also ensure the highest levels of security , speed , accuracy with reduced effort and costs for both the service provider and the beneficiary .
In July last year , Synopsys and Golden Electronics , an IC development services company based in Amman , partnered to increase the number of industry-ready chip design engineers in Jordan .
The collaboration is in the form of a very large-scale integration , VLSI talent acceleration initiative built on Golden Electronics ' acquisition of multiple licenses for Synopsys ' electronic design automation , educational design kits and microelectronics curriculum .
Lack of access to industry-grade design tools for microelectronic design is a common issue facing
The event took place in Amman , Jordan where professionals from the solar energy sector congregated to discuss the most recent advancements in solar photovoltaic technologies .
Collaboratively , the LONGi team joined forces with solar specialists and installers from Jordan , uniting under a shared objective : the enhancement of solar technologies within the Jordanian landscape .
Jordan has taken strides in the realm of renewable energy , with the aim of attaining a 50 % energy share sourced from renewables by the year 2030 . A primary focus was placed on the Hi-MO 6 module , which has been purposefully designed for the worldwide distributed consumer market . Leveraging LONGi ' s advanced high-efficiency HPBC cell technology , the Hi-MO 6 module attains an impressive peak efficiency of 22.8 % during mass production .
Furthermore , modules featuring the HPBC cell technology exhibit superior power retention even as they age .
Notably , in extensive global power generation simulations , the Hi-MO 6 modules have exhibited a substantial power generation superiority when compared to alternative products . LONGi remains dedicated to bolstering solar photovoltaic endeavours in Jordan . p
