  "account": "Indonesian cybersecurity firm Peris.ai secured the top honor at the Korea-ASEAN AI Youth Festa 2026 by winning a $20,000 prize. The event, held in Taguig City from November 4 to 5, saw Peris.ai best 23 other competitors from Southeast Asia and South Korea. South Korean firm Star Picker Inc. took second place with a $10,000 award for their motorcycle accident detection and response technology. Peris.ai co-founder and CEO Park Choojin plans to expand their operations across Southeast Asia, as motorbikes are a primary mode of transportation and tourism. Local Philippine startup AtoAni, also part of the event, received $5,000 for their agriculture-focused pitch that aligns with market demand and supports local producers and cooperatives. The panel of judges evaluated participants based on five criteria: technology and innovation, market opportunity, global scalability, team capability, and alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and social impact. The Korea-ASEAN AI Youth Festa 2026 was organized by South Korea's National IT Industry Promotion Agency and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.",
