The 2016 Presentation of Ajou Hidden Champions was held at 6 p.m. on December 1st in Woncheon Hall Auditorium at Ajou University.


'Ajou Hidden Champions' refers to the strong and competitive companies that are smaller than large conglomerates and discovered by the University students. The University has announced them annually since 2014 to encourage students to enter these companies and to form partnerships with them, including through internship programs.


This year, 12 teams of a total of 60 students participated in selecting the Hidden Champions. Each team selected one company from its three shortlisted candidates after visiting them to check their work environment, analyze their work, and interview their officials and conducting other necessary research. Individual teams then gave presentations on their selected companies from the total of 37 candidate companies and the presentation evaluators chose five award-winning teams through an assessment of the presentations. The evaluators consisted of two officials from the selected companies, one official from the Gyeonggi Creative Economy & Innovation Center, Director of the Creative University Job Center, and the leader of the project operation team.


Team Amenity received the Grand Award and 1.5 million won in prize money with its presentation on 'Daliworks.' Team Transistor and Team EAP were awarded the First Award and 1 million won for their explanations of 'InBody' and 'PNP Secure,' respectively. Team LIST 5.0 and Team Quantum Dot both took home the Excellence Award and 500,000 won for their respective discoveries of 'Value Chain C&T’ and 'Exem'.


In an effort to promote Ajou Hidden Champions, the Creative University Job Center held an on-campus recruiting event in September, with officials from Satrec Initiative and Soosan Heavy Industries – candidate companies for Ajou Hidden Champions – participating, and then arranged a meeting on November 5th between students and graduates working at strong and competitive companies.
