The student won the award with the idea of "Establishing a Comprehensive Platform for Fishery Processing By-products" at this contest held to discover creative ideas based on big data to innovate administrative services and create new business opportunities.
This idea was evaluated as one that expands the added value of fishery processing by-products through database creation and achieves resource circulation effects.
Im Myeong-su attracted attention by proposing a new platform called "Mulmaru" that collects and manages data on by-products, estimated to be 1.31 million tons annually, such as bones, fins, intestines, and shells generated during fishery product processing.
He anticipated that by using this platform, high value-added products could be produced by bio-materializing by-products using the discharge information reported by private businesses, and that it would induce bio companies to secure industrial raw materials and replace imported materials, thereby achieving resource circulation and increasing fishermen's income.
