One Idea to Rule Them All
After an inspiring round of presentations and discussions, one standout idea ”ReadyGo” was selected as the national winning project, earning its creators Zaid Al Qudah and Abdullah Shhadat the recognition as Jordan’s Red Bull Basement champion. The winning concept demonstrated exceptional creativity, practicality, and potential for future growth, reflecting the incredible talent emerging from Jordanian universities today, which was about an AI engine that monitors, audits, drafts, forecasts, and ensures compliance across financials, operations, legal, governance, and board readiness.
