[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Daegu University Startup Support Group held the ‘2022 Startup-Centered University Startup Club Competition’ on the 10th.

This competition was organized to discover startup clubs with technology-based startup items and to select the ‘2022 Challenge K-Startup Finalists.’

In this competition, five teams, including those selected through Daegu University’s internal evaluation and those who passed the document screening within the region with Kyungpook National University and Daegu Creative Economy Innovation Center, competed fiercely.

The participating teams in the presentation evaluation attracted attention by presenting creative ideas such as platform and IoT technologies, and Team Vi-us from Daegu Creative Economy Innovation Center won the grand prize by presenting the ‘Virus Vector Production Service.’

Next, the ‘Smart Safety Shoes Utilizing Indoor Positioning Technology and IoT Technology,’ which identifies the indoor location of workers using visible light technology without GPS, won the excellence award.

The three award-winning teams will advance to the national startup club competition finals and gain the opportunity to advance to the ‘Challenge K-Startup’ finals.

Lee Jae-hyun, head of Daegu University Startup Support Group, said, “We will do our best to support so that the creative startup items discovered through this competition do not remain at the idea level but materialize into products that change our lives and become a stepping stone to realizing dreams as technology entrepreneurs.”
