Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) hosted the “2025 SW·AI Convergence DAY” from September 14 (Sun) to 27 (Sat). At the final presentation and awards ceremony, teams achieving outstanding results were selected and awarded scholarships and prizes.

This event involved current students and alumni from the Graduate School of Software Convergence and the Graduate School of Global Entrepreneurship and Venture Business. It was designed to go beyond a simple competition, enabling participants to gain multidisciplinary convergence experience spanning technology, entrepreneurship, and design.

Students tackled practice-oriented tasks such as building AI models, designing UX, implementing services, and establishing commercialization strategies. They produced deliverables that fused technology, entrepreneurship, and design, connecting to real-world industry and advancing to commercialization—moving beyond mere idea generation.

Yang Kwang Seok, an AI major and team leader of the first-place winning team ‘Team Bruce’, stated, “I'm proud that our team's immersion over a short period yielded valuable results,” adding, “Especially, the convergence of diverse academic backgrounds enabled our proposed VLM inference-based AI CCTV idea to evolve into a concrete and feasible service.” During the expert lectures, specialists in entrepreneurship, design, and AI shared the latest industry trends and practical know-how. This was followed by Q&A sessions and discussions with participants, providing an opportunity to share real-world challenges encountered in the field.

The Dean of the College of Software Convergence at Kookmin University explained the event's purpose: “We prepared this so students from diverse majors could participate, recognizing the significant synergy when business ideas and technical capabilities combine. We hope this becomes more than a simple idea competition—a place where various departments gather to exchange insights, integrate the latest technologies, and present practical solutions.”
