Launch a PPP program for Family Offices in Jordan
A free 17-page guide · The $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
What this guide is for
Your family office launches a PPP co-investment program that invests in club deals, small-scale public-private partnership (PPP) projects and tokenized notes beside trusted developers.
The case
Family offices can move first and hold for generations
Infrastructure is one of the longest-lived things a family can own, and the assets of the next fifty years will be built, run and financed in new ways. Families that build a PPP program now can own a share of the rebuild and pass it to the next generation. This guide invites family offices in Jordan to launch that program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Co-invest in the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your family office opens a dedicated PPP co-investment program, with a mandate, a small team and a circle of trusted partners, that invests beside developers and other families in projects it can shape, starting with Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and the $46 billion anchored in Aqaba.
01
Club deals
The family office joins a small group of families and institutions to take equity in a PPP together, so each member holds a meaningful stake, shares the diligence and has a voice in how the project is run.
02
Small-scale PPPs
Jordan’s PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender, and PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. Projects of that size suit a family office, which can lead one as sponsor or bring its own proposal to government.
03
Partners who build
The program invests beside developers, contractors and operators with a track record, who bring the delivery skills while the family brings patient equity and the ability to decide quickly.
04
Tokenized notes
The family office holds tokenized notes in operating PPPs, which pay from the project’s revenue, can be sold in small amounts and can be divided among family members as easily as any other holding.
05
A legacy across generations
Concessions run for decades and leave behind roads, water networks, hospitals and power plants that serve the country for longer still. A PPP program gives the next generation of the family a role in owning and running assets with a public purpose.
Why family offices
Family offices can move first and hold for generations
A PPP needs equity that can commit early, accept a long horizon and stay through the whole concession. Family offices decide quickly, set their own horizons and think in generations, which fits the way PPPs are built.
Where family offices fit in a PPP
- Club deals
- Equity shared among a few families and institutions, each with a meaningful stake and a voice in the project.
- Sponsor equity
- A seat in a consortium beside a developer, contractor or operator from bid to operation.
- Small-scale PPPs
- Projects below $14.1 million that a family can lead, or bring to government as a direct proposal under Article 15.
- Operating stakes
- Shares in completed projects with a revenue record, bought from sponsors who want to recycle capital.
- Tokenized notes
- Small, divisible holdings in operating PPPs that pay from the project’s revenue and pass easily between generations.
What changes for family offices
AI, robotics and tokenization bring PPP within reach of a small investment team. AI tools let a family office review a concession agreement and a financial model with the depth of a large fund, and sensors report how each asset performs. Robotic construction and maintenance reduce the surprises that worry a minority investor, and tokenized notes let a family hold, divide and pass on infrastructure in small, flexible amounts.
Why a program, and why now
Without a program, a family office sees PPPs only when a deal is offered to it, often late and on terms that others have set. A program gives the family a mandate, partners it trusts and a pipeline of its own, so it can choose its projects and shape the terms. Jordan’s pipeline is large and early, and the families who join consortiums as they form will own a share of the country’s infrastructure for decades.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Family Offices in Jordan for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
Every one of them will need equity partners who can move quickly. A Jordanian family that co-invests in one project at home can follow the same partners to the next one across the region.
- $86B
- of PPP and infrastructure projects in development in Jordan
- $46B
- of them anchored in Aqaba
Artificial intelligence
AI lets a small investment team review a PPP as thoroughly as a large fund. A family office can test a financial model, read a concession agreement and its schedules, and compare a deal against similar projects in hours, which makes direct and club investing possible without a large staff. Once the asset is operating, digital twins and sensors give the family live data on how its holding performs.
Robotics
Robotics lowers the cost and the risk of building and running the assets a family owns. Projects that use automated construction finish closer to schedule, and drones and maintenance robots keep operating assets performing for longer. The companies that make those machines are also candidates for the family’s own venture investments, so the family can own the technology as well as the asset.
Tokenization
Tokenization suits the way families hold wealth. A family office can hold tokenized notes in an operating PPP, receive revenue through smart contracts as it arrives, sell small portions when it needs liquidity and divide a holding among heirs without breaking up the asset, which makes infrastructure as easy to pass on as any other investment.
Small PPPs and research labs
Small PPPs come in tickets a family office can hold directly. A Jordanian family can back a lab, take stakes in a portfolio of pilots across several sectors and follow on into the technologies and project companies that prove themselves, with returns paid from each asset’s own revenue.
Unsolicited proposals
A family office can sponsor a direct proposal of its own, choosing a project it believes in and the partners to deliver it. The proposer’s right to match the best offer and to recover its direct study costs at tender protects the family’s early investment in the idea.
The program
How the program could work
The program can start with a mandate and a small team inside the family office, and grow with each deal it closes and each partner it adds.
- Mandate
- A clear statement of the family’s role in PPP, its target sectors, its ticket sizes and the horizon it is willing to hold.
- Team
- A program lead and a small team drawn from the family’s investment staff, supported by outside advisors on the first deals.
- Partners
- Developers, contractors and operators with a track record, and other families and institutions for club deals.
- Small-scale PPPs
- A route to small projects below $14.1 million and to the family’s own direct proposals under Article 15.
- Club deals
- Standard terms for co-investing with other families, so each new club forms faster than the last.
- Tokenized notes
- A pilot holding of tokenized notes in an operating PPP, structured so it can pass to the next generation.
- Next generation
- A role for younger family members in sourcing, monitoring and governing the program’s projects.
What the family gains
The family gains long-dated assets backed by contracted revenue, a seat in consortiums beside the developers and operators that build the region, and a portfolio that reaches beyond the markets it already holds. Each project brings partners who can offer the family the next one.
It also gains a legacy that its heirs can carry forward. Infrastructure serves the public for generations, and a family that helps build it leaves its heirs a holding with a purpose, a network across the region and a head start in the next form of infrastructure ownership.
Next steps
