The competition was organized in several categories, and in the "Innovation" category, the silver medal was won by the mixed team of the Faculty of Technical Sciences from Novi Sad and the University of Shenzhen. 6.31 million participants from 117 countries participated in the competition.

Mijat Kustudić is a master engineer at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, an assistant at the Audencia French School of Business at the University of Shenzhen and is the winner of the award for outstanding contributions of the University of Shenzhen. In addition to Mijat, the team also included Nikola Kustudić (computer engineer of the project) graduated and mastered at the Department of Architecture of FTN in Novi Sad, where doctoral student Maja Gulan (system project engineer) graduated and mastered at the Project Management of FTN in Novi Sad. currently a student at Shenzhen University, Hafiz Mustansar Javaid from Pakistan (project finance manager) is a doctoral student at Shenzhen University and Ting Xie from China (project technology development leader) is a master student at Shenzhen University.

The project of the mixed team of FTN and Shenzhen University CDNBye is an algorithm that solves the problem of insufficient server bandwidth and the problem of direct transmission in the video industry. Every time we want to watch video from the Internet, our computer or phone must communicate exclusively with the server. Thanks to their product, video data is not only taken from the server but also from other users who are watching the same video at the moment. This speeds up data transfer, increases quality, saves network bandwidth, and thus money to providers. The algorithm uses artificial intelligence to decide when to download the data, taking into account time and distance.

As for further activities after this competition, Mijat stated that further plans are related to the formation of a start-up and further breakthrough on the world market. They plan to find investors who would support their idea: monetary and mentoring. It will continue to invest in research and development and expand its product range.
