KBW Jordan delivered valuable support for the next generation of tech innovators as Exclusive Elite Sponsor of a student-led hackathon in Amman.
Organized by the University of Jordan’s IEEE Computer Society student chapter, Jordan 2076 — From Foundations to the Future brought together aspiring software developers, industry experts and ecosystem partners to explore technology-driven solutions to the challenges facing the country.
The hackathon spanned four tracks – Amman 2076, Irbid 2076, Petra 2076 and Aqaba 2076 – challenging students to build software-based solutions across education, healthcare, tourism and transport. A three-day intensive bootcamp offered participants an opportunity to further develop and refine their concepts ahead of the final competition.
A member of KBW Jordan’s three-person delegation also joined the event’s judging panel, helping to evaluate projects based on their feasibility, market relevance and potential impact.
The concluding congress welcomed 350 attendees for keynote presentations, panel discussions and the announcement of the competition winners, who received a combined prize fund of JOD 2,250.
KBW Jordan’s sponsorship of the hackathon reflects its longstanding support for emerging technology talent, digital innovation and partnership-led development in the Kingdom.
