- 25.10.31 / 전윤실
Kookmin University's Graduate School of Business IT (Dean Kim Namgyu) will host the ‘Global Business IT Hackathon: Strategic Fit to Odoo MVP Design’ on Friday, November 7th at 7:00 PM in Room 316 of the Business Administration Building.
This hackathon will feature approximately 30 graduate students from four countries—South Korea, China, Uzbekistan, and Laos. Participants will implement real business ideas using the commercial software of Belgian company Odoo and present AI utilization strategies based on these solutions in a global competition format.
Participants will personally execute a series of processes: ▲Industry Analysis → ▲Strategy Formulation → ▲Strategic Fit → ▲Odoo Application Mapping → ▲AI-Driven Innovation, gaining practical experience in integrating business strategy with IT systems.
The finals will open with a congratulatory video message from Odoo's Hong Kong office, followed by the final competition among the five teams that passed the preliminary round, featuring video presentations and Q&A sessions.
Notably, AI technology will be extensively utilized throughout this hackathon. Participants will present in their native languages (Korean, Chinese, Uzbek, Lao), with AI-based translation tools providing real-time interpretation into English, lowering barriers for multinational collaboration. Furthermore, an AI judging system will automate document screening based on pre-set evaluation criteria, enhancing fairness and efficiency.
Kim Nam Gyu, Dean of Kookmin University's Graduate School of Business IT, stated, “This hackathon is a meaningful opportunity for students to combine real business strategies with IT solutions,” adding, “It will greatly help them develop global collaboration skills and strengthen their practical capabilities.”
Meanwhile, the Graduate School of Business IT at Kookmin University, which organized this event, operates a practice-oriented education program that cultivates business problem-solving capabilities based on specialized IT (Information Technology) knowledge. Notably, it has achieved outstanding research and educational results in business analytics and AI applications, including being the sole institution selected for the national-level education and research team in the management field under the 4th phase of the BK21 Project.
The Graduate School of Business IT is currently recruiting new students for the first semester of the 2026 academic year, with applications accepted until November 15. Detailed information is available on the official website (https://bit.kookmin.ac.kr).
