Students, companies, and aspiring entrepreneurs participated in the competition, which consisted of a first preliminary round (written evaluation) followed by a second final round (presentation evaluation).

At the competition, the "Muldeulim" team, composed of students from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at National Hanbat University, presented an "AI-Based Seawater Circulation Strategy Establishment System" using data on water quality changes in Saemangeum Lake, and won the Grand Prize in the idea planning category.

Additionally, the "Susanghan Moim" team from the same department proposed a "Saemangeum-Type Integrated Management Platform for Rainwater Reuse Facilities" and received the Excellence Award in the idea planning category.

Professor Park Heeseong of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering stated, "It is meaningful that the students independently considered ways to utilize public data, developed creative ideas, and achieved outstanding results by participating in a national competition hosted by a government agency."
