(Daejeon/Chungnam = News1) Reporter Park Chan-soo = The Korea Forest Service announced on the 16th that it held the 2025 Startup Competition Awards Ceremony on Big Data and AI Applications in the Forestry Sector at the Seoul Creative Economy Innovation Center.

In the product and service development category, the grand prize went to the team MountainDuo (Soh-Young Kang and one other) for their submission Today Hiking. The platform integrates and analyzes forest data, location information, and user data to provide personalized, safe hiking information.

InvaLab (Wonhyeop Shin and four others) won the grand prize in the idea planning category with a seed-sowing simulation service. The system predicts and verifies the feasibility of seed-ball establishment for early ground cover by reflecting diverse terrain conditions in forest environments that are difficult to access due to wildfire or landslide damage.

Lee Jong-su, Director General for Planning and Coordination at the Korea Forest Service, said, “We hope the award-winning teams’ ideas and services will lead to sustainable outcomes that benefit the public. Going forward, we will continue to work on discovering, opening, and ensuring the quality of forest data to contribute to youth entrepreneurship and the advancement of the AI industry.”
