Orange Jordan concluded the 8th local edition of the Orange Social Venture Prize (OSVP) with the announcement of the winners during a special event that was attended by the participants, winners of previous global editions, and several partners.

This year’s projects focused on responding to the most pressing challenges as ideas revolved around utilizing AI to monitor energy consumption and enhance agricultural techniques indicating the participants’ awareness about the issues surrounding them that need to be tackled innovatively.

The announcement of the 3 winners, who will be qualified for the global edition of the prize, came after the conclusion of the pitching phase where the 12 finalists presented their ideas before the jury.

The 3 winners included Mustafa Sadeq in first place, with a prize worth JD 5000, for his project GasNas which focuses on monitoring gas consumption and automating its distribution. Omar Asa’d came in second place with a prize worth JD 3000 for his project Smart Eye – Neurotech which aims to enable vulnerable communities to get access to energy resources.
