Pukyong National University Team Wins Grand Prize at Busan U-Startup Package IR Pitching Competition
-‘Fore’ Team Takes Grand Prize … ‘Jigeum.Lab’ Team Wins Best Award
The student team from Pukyong National University (President Bae Sang-hoon) won the prestigious Grand Prize at the Busan (U)Startup Package IR Pitching Competition.
Organized by the Busan Metropolitan City and Pukyong National University’s Busan U-Startup Package Business Team, this competition was held to present commercialization ideas and share results among the 38 startup teams from 14 universities participating in the Busan (U)Startup Package program.
The competition, held on November 26 at the Homers Hotel in Busan, saw 9 teams participate after undergoing practical investment education, business model enhancement, and prototype development stages, with the final winners selected.
The Grand Prize was awarded to the Pukyong National University Fore Team (Choi Min-seok, Jung Eun-seo), who presented their startup idea, an “AI-based SNS Hotplace Integrated Social Map App,” and received the Grand Prize (Busan Mayor’s Award).
This winning startup idea allows users to share SNS content on the app, where AI automatically classifies and manages it, earning high praise for its potential for commercialization and a successful business launch.
Along with this, the Pukyong National University Jigeum.Lab Team (Nam Woo-jin, Lee Ga-eun) won the Best Award (Busan Venture Business Association Chairman’s Award) for their “Gen AI-based Service Promotion Solution, Phase On.”
In addition, the winning teams of this competition will be given the opportunity to participate in the ‘Global Startup Camp‘ held in Tokyo, Japan, in January next year.
Ryu Ji-yeol, Director of the Pukyong National University Busan U-Startup Package Business Team, stated, “Through this competition, we will continue to share excellent startup ideas from universities participating in the Busan U-Startup Package, and aim to create a startup network among universities. We also plan to further expand shared collaboration with local governments.” <Pukyong Today>
