The grand prize team will be given an opportunity for training in New York, and Nasdaq will award a prize by displaying the winners' photos on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square.

The Excellence Award went to the ‘DIFI’ team from Pusan National University and the ‘Cold Capital Market’ team from Hanyang University and Sogang University, while the Encouragement Award was given to ‘Konfrost’, ‘NTY’, and ‘NEO_D’.
