The event has been held annually since 2001, and this year's ceremony was hosted by the Korea Artificial Intelligence Software Industry Association (KOSA) and sponsored by the Ministry of Science and ICT, among others.
Plantynet was selected as an award-winning company in recognition of its achievements in supplying the AI-based smart education solution 'nBlock' to public institutions such as education offices, thereby enhancing classroom efficiency and safety.
