During the event nine international teams developed their own inventions. The Global Startup Camp Award took place on Thursday January 9th  2020, when an evaluation was held by a committee of experts in the areas of startup activities, commercialization and engineering.

The winners were students from the team Wikings with their invention Stay Frosty. The authors of the idea are students of Applied Mechanics, namely Rajkumar Arokiaraj James Akshay Nicholas and Bhuvanesh Govindaraj who were in the team together with Korean students Choi Hyuk Jae and Choi Woo Sung.
