The makerthon centered on civil servants who understand on-site administrative issues directly designing and implementing solutions. To support the linkage of government-open public data with services for frontline officials, Duzon Bizon and NIA prepared in advance a guide to using the Public Data Portal and a list of sample APIs.
The event began with a Replit tutorial and then moved on to topic presentations. Participants learned the scope from calling public data APIs to screen configuration and service deployment, and after mastering the full process, they entered a 3-hour intensive development session.
The event also featured a special lecture by Senior Consultant Lee Seong-jae of Duzon Bizon's AX Support Division. Based on the theme "AI Used by Companies," Lee introduced examples of AI adoption and work innovation in corporate settings and shared the implications of those cases for public administration.
Judging was conducted in two stages based on creativity, functionality, technical quality, and public utility. The first-round judging was handled during the special lecture by a panel made up of officials from Duzon Bizon, NIA and Replit, and the top 5 projects were selected as a result.
As a result, the grand prize went to "Tax Sulsul," by Kim Yun-ji, a senior official at Daejeon Metropolitan City. The top prize went to "Gimhae Rainwater Guardian," by Park Hyeong-ju, a senior official at Gimhae City, South Gyeongsang Province. The excellence award went to "Guidance on Vaccination Through Analysis of National Vaccination and Infectious Disease Incidence Rates," by Jeong Hui-su, an officer at the Public Procurement Service. Encouragement awards went to "A Platform for Searching, Comparing, Saving, and Analyzing Similar Contracts for Public Projects," by Kim Seung-won of the Ministry of Personnel Management, and "Alley Chief - Startup Location Analysis," by Lee Bu-gyeom of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
Duzon Bizon Co-CEO Ji Yong-gu said that if public AX is to gain speed, civil servants who know the problems on the ground best must directly come up with solutions. He also said that the participants were able to build services that actually worked based on public data in a short time, and that the process confirmed the potential for public innovation. He added that Duzon Bizon plans to continue sharing technology and experience so that AI can be naturally embedded in the way people work in the public sector.
NIA President Kim Hyeong-cheol said this makerthon demonstrated the possibility that frontline civil servants can also create citizen-facing services in a short time by combining public data and AI tools. He added that NIA will continue working with the private sector to strengthen civil servants' AI capabilities and expand AI-based administrative innovation.
