The Daejeon Creative Economy Innovation Center (CEO Daehee Park, hereinafter referred to as the Daejeon Innovation Center) announced that it awarded the grand prize to one team in the AI field at the '7th Air Force Creative and Innovation Hackathon' hosted by the Air Force on November 5th.
The Daejeon Innovation Center has co-hosted hackathons with the Air Force for seven years, from the first event in 2018 to this year. This competition is an open innovation platform for civilians and the military to jointly address practical issues arising in the Air Force field. It is significant in that it allows soldiers, military personnel, and the general public to participate and develop technological solutions based on real-world needs.
A total of 297 teams and approximately 700 participants participated in this year's hackathon. A panel of judges comprised of experts from within and outside the military comprehensively evaluated the entries based on creativity, effectiveness, suitability, and feasibility. A total of 21 teams won awards in three categories: open competition, designated competition, and AI program. Among them, the "AI Daham Team," supported by the Daejeon Innovation Center in the AI program category, was selected as the grand prize winner, receiving 3 million won in prize money and a certificate of merit.
The Daejeon Innovation Center continues to discover practical projects through collaboration with the Air Force to expand artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven technological innovations to the public and defense sectors.
Park Dae-hee, CEO of the Daejeon Innovation Center, said, “For the past seven years, the Daejeon Center and the Air Force have been developing a civilian-military open innovation model centered on the needs of the field,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen cooperation to support the continuation of innovation results that can be felt in the field.”
